Step-by-Step Crochet Tutorial:
Foundation Row:
Commence by chaining a suitable number of stitches, opting from the following counts: 36, 96, 120, 132, 156, 204, 276, or 324. Insert your hook into the second chain from the hook and work a half-double crochet (hdc). Continue stitching one hdc into each chain until the end of the row, then turn your work.
Row 1:
Begin with ch 1, then work two consecutive single crochets (sc). Introduce a bobble stitch (bo), followed by another two sc stitches. Maintain this rhythmic pattern across the row. Conclude by placing a single crochet into the final stitch, then turn your piece.
Row 2:
Chain one and execute a half-double crochet into each stitch along the row, then turn your work.
Row 3:
Mimic the previous row—ch 1, then work hdc into each stitch across, concluding with a turn.
Row 4:
Replicate the previous row again—ch 1, followed by hdc across, then turn.
Rows 5 and Beyond:
Adhere to the pattern until your desired size is reached, alternating rows 1 to 4 as necessary, ensuring the blanket remains proportional to the size intended.
Final Rows:
- Second-to-Last Row: Repeat Row 1.
- Last Row: Repeat Row 2.
Finishing Touches:
Once the last stitch is complete, fasten off your yarn securely. Utilize a yarn needle to weave in any lingering ends, ensuring a neat and polished look.
