Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in mustard color
• Crochet Hook: 5.5 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 14 stitches and 16 rows = 4 inches in pattern stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain in multiples of 4 plus 2. For example, if you want a blanket that is 40 inches wide, you could chain 114 (which is 4 x 28 + 2).
2. Row 1: Skip the first 2 chains from your hook. Then, yarn over and insert your hook into the next chain. Work 1 half double crochet (hdc) in each chain across the row. Once you reach the end, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 2 (this counts as your first hdc). Now, *yarn over and insert your hook around the next stitch (this is called front post double crochet or fpdc), then yarn over and insert your hook around the next stitch from the back (this is called back post double crochet or bpdc); repeat from * across the row. End with 1 hdc in the top of the turning chain from Row 1. Turn your work.
4. Repeat Rows: Continue repeating Row 2 until your blanket reaches the desired length. Remember, the more rows you add, the longer your blanket will be. Check your progress frequently to ensure it meets your expectations.
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 neat finish.

Now you have your very own Cozy Mustard Crochet Textured Blanket! Enjoy the warmth and comfort it brings to your home.
