Crochet Blanket

Materials Needed:

Yarn: Medium (4) weight yarn in three shades of your choice (the example uses three different shades of gray). Requirement: 18 balls of yarn in total, 6 balls of each shade, but adjust according to the desired size of your blanket.
Crochet Hook: Size 9 mm crochet hook.
Additional Tools: A pair of scissors and a yarn needle.

Pattern Overview:

This blanket is worked by using three strands of yarn together as if they were one, creating a thick, luxurious texture.
The pattern is simple, relying on a foundation chain and single crochet stitches, making it an excellent project for beginners.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Start with a Slip Knot:

To begin, make a slip knot on your hook. This will be the start of your foundation chain.

Foundation Chain:

Decide on the width of your blanket.
For a generously sized blanket, chain 95.
This number can be adjusted according to the width you desire (more chains for wider blankets, fewer for narrower).

First Row:

Start working single crochet stitches into your foundation chain.
Flip the chain to work into the back bumps, which gives the finished edge a neater appearance.
Skip the first bump right next to the hook, and proceed to single crochet into the second bump.
Continue single crocheting into each back bump across the foundation chain.

Subsequent Rows:

At the end of the first row, chain one, then turn your work.
Continue with single crochet stitches into each stitch from the previous row.
Remember to work under both loops of the stitch to maintain the thickness and texture.

Repeat:

Keep repeating the single crochet rows, chaining one and turning at the end of each row, until the blanket reaches your desired length.

Adding New Yarn:

As you work and run out of yarn from your balls, seamlessly add in new yarn by laying the new strand over the hook and continuing your next stitch with the new yarn.
Tuck the ends in to weave later.

Border:

To finish, work a single crochet border around the entire blanket.
In each corner stitch, work 3 single crochets to maintain a flat edge.
Work single crochets evenly along the sides of the blanket to create a neat edge.
