Certainly! Here’s a simple and popular crochet pattern for an easy blanket stitch. This pattern is great for beginners and creates a lovely textured pattern for blankets, scarves, and more. Let’s get started:

Materials Needed:

  • Worsted weight yarn in your desired color(s)
  • Crochet hook (size recommended on the yarn label)
  • Scissors
  • Yarn needle

Abbreviations:

  • Ch: Chain
  • SC: Single Crochet
  • DC: Double Crochet

Instructions:

Step 1: Foundation Chain

  1. Start by making a foundation chain in multiples of 3, plus an additional 2 chains to serve as the turning chain. For example, you can chain 102 for a nice-sized blanket.

Step 2: First Row

  1. Skip the first 2 chains (these count as your turning chain), and then work a SC into the 3rd chain from the hook.
  2. Ch 2, skip the next 2 chains, then work 1 SC into the next chain. Repeat this pattern (…) across the row until you reach the last 3 chains.
  3. Ch 2, skip 2 chains, then work 1 DC into the last chain.

Step 3: Second Row and Repeat Rows

  1. Ch 1 and turn your work.
  2. Work 1 SC into the first DC stitch from the previous row.
  3. Ch 2, skip the next 2 stitches (which will be the ch-2 space from the previous row), then work 1 SC into the next ch-2 space. Repeat this pattern (…) across the row until you reach the last ch-2 space.
  4. Ch 2, skip the ch-2 space, then work 1 DC into the last SC stitch from the previous row.

Step 4: Repeat

  1. Repeat Step 3 for as many rows as you want, always starting with a ch-1 and turning your work. This will create the blanket stitch pattern.
  2. Remember to alternate between a row with SC stitches and a row with DC stitches to maintain the pattern.

Step 5: Finishing

  1. To finish, fasten off your yarn after completing your last row. Leave a tail of yarn to weave in later.
  2. Weave in all the loose ends using a yarn needle.
  3. Block your blanket if desired, by lightly wetting it and then shaping it to the desired dimensions. Allow it to dry completely before using.

Congratulations, you’ve completed your easy blanket stitch crochet pattern! This stitch creates a beautiful texture that’s perfect for cozy blankets or other projects. Enjoy your crocheting!
