Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in pastel shades of cream, light green, and peach.
• Crochet Hook: 5.5 mm crochet hook.
• Gauge: 12 double crochets (dc) and 7 rows = 4 inches.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain in multiples of 12, then add 3 additional chains. For example, if you want a blanket width of 48 inches, you could chain 123 (12 x 10 + 3).
2. Row 1: In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc). Then, dc in each chain across the foundation chain. Once you reach the end, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc). Now, *skip 2 dc, then in the next dc, make (dc, chain 1, dc) to create a shell. Skip the next 2 dc and dc in the next 5 dc. Repeat from * across the row, ending with a dc in the last dc. Turn your work.
4. Row 3: Chain 3. Now, dc in each dc and chain-1 space across the row. Turn your work.
5. Repeating Rows: Continue to alternate between Row 2 and Row 3. Every 4 rows, switch colors to create the beautiful wave pattern. For instance, you could use cream for the first 4 rows, light green for the next 4, and peach for the following 4.
6. Continue Crocheting: Keep repeating Rows 2 and 3, alternating colors, until your blanket reaches your desired length. A good length for a throw blanket is around 60 inches.
7. Finishing: Once you have 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 for a neat finish.
