Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky yarn in a soft cream color
• Crochet Hook: Size N/P (10 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 7 stitches and 6 rows = 4 inches in pattern

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Begin by chaining a multiple of 4 plus 2 for the desired width of your blanket. For example, if you want a width of 40 inches, you might chain 162 (which is 4 x 40 + 2).
2. Row 1: In the 3rd chain from your hook, make a double crochet (dc). Continue to make a dc in each chain across the row. Once you reach the end, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Start this row by chaining 2 (this counts as your first dc). Now, *make a front post double crochet (fpdc) around the next dc from the previous row, then make a back post double crochet (bpdc) around the next dc. Repeat from the asterisk (*) across the row. End this row by making a dc in the top of the turning chain from Row 1. Turn your work.
4. Repeat Row 2: Continue repeating Row 2 until your blanket reaches the desired length. Remember to keep your tension consistent for an even texture.
5. Finishing: Once your blanket has reached the desired length, fasten off your yarn by cutting it, leaving a tail of about 6 inches. Pull the tail through the last loop on your hook to secure it. Finally, weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle to give your blanket a clean finish.

And there you have it! A beautiful, chunky ribbed crochet blanket that you can proudly say you made yourself. Enjoy your cozy creation!
