This beautiful blanket features a flowing wave pattern and is made using soft, pastel yarns in peach, cream, and pink.

Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky cotton yarn in peach, cream, and pink
• Hook: Size 9mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 4 stitches and 4 rows = 4 inches in pattern stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain in multiples of 6 + 2 using the peach yarn. For example, you can chain 38 (6 x 6 + 2 = 38).
2. Row 1: In the second chain from the hook, single crochet (sc). Continue to single crochet 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 double crochet). Now, *skip 2 stitches, then work 5 double crochet (dc) in the next stitch. Skip the next 2 stitches, and single crochet in the next stitch; repeat from * across the row. Make sure to end with a double crochet in the last stitch. Turn your work.
4. Row 3: Chain 1, then single crochet in each stitch across the row. Once you reach the end, turn your work.
5. Repeat Rows: Continue to repeat Rows 2 and 3, alternating colors every two rows. For instance, after completing two rows in peach, switch to cream for the next two rows, and then to pink. This will create a beautiful striped effect.
6. Continue Crocheting: Keep repeating the pattern until your blanket reaches your desired length. You can measure it against your couch or bed to ensure it’s the perfect size.
7. Finishing Up: Once you’ve reached the desired length, fasten off your yarn. To do this, cut the yarn leaving a 6-inch tail, pull the tail through the last loop on your hook, and tighten it. Finally, weave in all ends using a yarn needle to give your blanket a clean finish.
