Free Pattern For Double Crochet Blanket

Before starting your double crochet blanket, make sure you have all the necessary materials on hand. You will need a large crochet hook (size K or larger), several skeins of your chosen yarn in coordinating colors, and a pair of scissors to cut the yarn. Additionally, having a tape measure handy can help ensure your blanket turns out the desired size.

For beginners, it’s recommended to choose a soft, bulky yarn in a solid color to make it easier to see your stitches. Once you’ve gathered your materials, you’re ready to get started on your double crochet blanket.

Pattern Instructions

To begin your double crochet blanket, make a foundation chain in multiples of two to achieve the desired width of your blanket. For example, if you want a blanket that is 30 inches wide, you could make a foundation chain of 60 stitches.

Once you have your foundation chain, start by double crocheting in the fourth chain from the hook. Yarn over, insert your hook into the fourth chain, yarn over again, and pull up a loop. You should have three loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull through the first two loops on your hook, then yarn over again and pull through the remaining two loops. Continue double crocheting in each chain across the row.

For the subsequent rows, chain three and turn your work. This chain three counts as the first double crochet of the row. Double crochet in the next stitch and in each stitch across the row. Repeat this process for each row until your blanket reaches the desired length.

Feel free to experiment with different color patterns or yarn textures to create a unique double crochet blanket that suits your style. Once you’ve completed your blanket, weave in any loose ends and enjoy your cozy creation!

By following this simple pattern, you can create a beautiful double crochet blanket that is perfect for snuggling up on chilly evenings or giving as a thoughtful handmade gift to friends and family.
