Christmas Crochet Blanket: How to make the blanket
If you’re looking for a festive way to show off your crochet skills, look no further than this crochet blanket! It’s simple to make, and it can be made in any size you want. You’ll need Worsted weight yarn, an H Hook, and a tapestry needle. If you don’t have any of those things, you can probably get by with a basic stitch dictionary and some scrap yarn.
To begin, chain about 120 (or the desired width of your blanket). Then work 6 double crochets in the beginning chain space (counts as 1dc), then turn.
Work 2 dc into each of the first 9 spaces on the right side (10dc total). Work 1 dc into each of the next 3 spaces on the right side (4dc total). Working into the front loop only of each stitch throughout, continue working 1dc into each space until you reach the end of the row (14dc total).
Switch to white yarn and work 10 dc into the turning chain space. Change colors to black yarn and work 1 dc into each space until you reach the end of the row (12dc total). Fasten off white yarn, leaving a long tail for later use.
Turn your work so that wrong side is facing outwards and start crocheting in rows again with black yarn. Start by chaining 4 and working 2 dc into each stitch across. Work even in this manner until your blanket reaches your desired length or width. Fasten off and weave in any loose ends.
