Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in gradient colors: orange, yellow, beige, and light blue.
• Hook: Size H/8 (5mm) crochet hook.
• Gauge: 12 stitches and 14 rows = 4 inches in double crochet.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain of 150 stitches using the lightest color (light blue). Ensure your chain is not twisted as you work.
2. Row 1: In the fourth chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc). Continue to dc in each chain across the row. Once you reach the end, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc for this row). Then, make a dc in each stitch across. Turn your work again at the end of the row.
4. Continue Crocheting: For the next rows, keep working in double crochet. Every 20 rows, you will change colors to create the gradient effect. Follow this sequence for color changes:
   • Rows 1-20: Light Blue
   • Rows 21-40: Beige
   • Rows 41-60: Yellow
   • Rows 61-80: Orange
5. Repeat: Continue repeating the color sequence until your blanket reaches your desired length. Make sure to count your rows to maintain the gradient pattern.
6. Finishing Touches: Once your blanket is at the desired length, fasten off your yarn. Use a yarn needle to weave in all ends securely. This will give your blanket a clean finish.

Congratulations! You have successfully created your own Warm Gradient Crochet Blanket. Enjoy the warmth and comfort it brings to your home!
