Materials Needed

• Yarn: Bulky weight, 100% cotton in lemon yellow, soft white, and pale green
• Hook: Size L (8.0 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 8 stitches and 10 rows = 4 inches in pattern stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain of 120 stitches using the soft white yarn. Ensure that your chain is not too tight; it should be flexible enough to work into.
2. Row 1:
   • Single crochet in the second chain from the hook.
   • Continue to single crochet in each chain across the entire row.
   • Once you reach the end, turn your work to start Row 2.
3. Row 2:
   • Change to lemon yellow yarn.
   • Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
   • Double crochet in the next stitch.
   • Now, repeat the following pattern: *skip the next stitch, double crochet in the next 2 stitches, and working in front of these 2 double crochets, double crochet in the skipped stitch (this creates a crossed double crochet); repeat from * across the row.
   • End the row with a double crochet in the last stitch.
   • Turn your work to start Row 3.
4. Row 3:
   • Change to pale green yarn.
   • Chain 1, then single crochet in each stitch across the row.
   • Turn your work to start Row 4.
5. Repeat Rows: Continue alternating between Rows 2 and 3, changing colors every two rows, until your blanket measures approximately 60 inches long.
6. Finishing the Blanket:
   • To create a neat border, use the soft white yarn.
   • Work a round of single crochet evenly around the entire edge of the blanket.
   • In each corner, work 3 single crochets to create a rounded edge.
   • Once you’ve completed the border, fasten off the yarn and weave in all ends securely.

Your Sun-Kissed Lemonade Throw Blanket is now complete! Enjoy the warmth and beauty it brings to your home.
