Introduction

Welcome to your next crochet project!

Let’s dive into the materials you’ll need and the step-by-step instructions to create your very own blanket!

Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky cotton yarn in peach and coral
• Hook: Size 10mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 4 stitches and 2 rows = 4 inches in wave pattern

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain that is a multiple of 12 plus 3. For example, you can chain 39 (which is 12 x 3 + 3). Use the peach yarn for this step.
2. Row 1:
   • In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc).
   • Now, *skip 2 chains, then make 5 double crochets (dc) in the next chain, skip 2 chains, and dc in the next 2 chains; repeat from * across the entire row.
   • Once you reach the end, turn your work.
3. Row 2:
   • Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc).
   • Make a dc in the next dc from the previous row.
   • Now, *skip 2 dc, then make 5 dc in the next dc, skip 2 dc, and dc in the next 2 dc; repeat from * across the row.
   • Turn your work again after reaching the end.
4. Repeating Rows:
   • Continue to repeat Row 2, alternating colors every 4 rows. For instance, after completing 4 rows in peach, switch to coral for the next 4 rows.
   • Keep crocheting until your blanket reaches your desired length.
5. Finishing Touch:
   • To give your blanket a neat edge, finish with a row of single crochet (sc) around the entire blanket.
   • Once completed, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle.

Congratulations! You have now completed your Sunset Waves Crochet Blanket. Enjoy the cozy warmth and beauty it brings to your space!
