Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in soft pastel colors (e.g., seafoam green, pale blue, and soft white)
• Hook: Size H/8 (5.0 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 4 granny clusters and 8 rows = 4 inches

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain of 120 chains. Ensure that your chain is not twisted before you begin the next step.
2. Row 1: In the 4th chain from the hook, work 3 double crochets (dc). This creates your first granny cluster. Next, skip 2 chains, and in the next chain, work another granny cluster of 3 dc. Repeat this pattern across the row. Make sure to end with 1 dc in the last chain to maintain the blanket's shape. Turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc). Now, work 3 dc in the space between the first and second granny clusters of the previous row. Continue this pattern by working 3 dc in each space between the granny clusters across the row. Remember to end with 1 dc in the top of the turning chain from the previous row. Turn your work.
4. Repeat: Continue repeating Row 2 until your blanket measures approximately 36 inches in length. Keep your tension even to ensure a consistent look throughout the blanket.
5. Fasten Off: Once you reach the desired length, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle. This will give your blanket a polished finish.
6. Optional Border: For a finished look, you can add a border. Attach your yarn in any corner of the blanket. Chain 1, then work single crochet evenly around the entire blanket. In each corner, work 3 single crochets to create a rounded edge. Join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet to complete the border. Fasten off and weave in ends.
