- Crochet hook size N (10 mm) or as desired for the size of the blanket
Pattern:
Foundation Chain:
- Chain 63 (This is a multiple of 20 + 3 for the specified width)
- You can adjust the width by adding increments of 20 to the chain (e.g., 80 chains for a wider blanket)
First Row:
- Starting in the 4th chain from the hook, double crochet in the back loop (you can use the front loop if desired)
- Make a total of 5 double crochets in the next 4 chains (counting the initial chain 3 as a stitch)
- Skip 2 chains, then work 4 double crochets in the next chain
- Chain 1 and repeat the zigzag pattern (down, up) across the row, maintaining the count of 4 double crochets in each section
Additional Rows:
- Chain 3 and turn your work
- Double crochet in the back loops across the row, maintaining the zigzag pattern by working 3 double crochets, chain 1, and 3 double crochets in the appropriate spaces
- Repeat this pattern until the desired length of the blanket is reached
Finishing:
- Complete the last row according to the pattern
- Add a border if desired by single crocheting evenly around the edges to provide a nice finish and help reduce curling
Note:
