Simple Blanket Pattern for Beginners

Hey everyone! Thank you so much for 600 subscribers! Also, sorry for the delay on this video. I recently adopted a dog, so a large portion of my time has been spent taking care of him and getting him adjusted to my house. Anyways, today I'm showing you how to crochet a simple blanket that is great for beginners starting out with crocheting. It mainly uses the chain and double crochet, as well as the slip stitch. With this pattern you can use as many accent colors as you want in any pattern to create your own unique blanket. For example, Halloween is coming up so you could make a blanket with a black base and accent colors of different shades of orange and purple. It's a great pattern with lots of versatility! Also, feel free to leave any comments or questions you have in the comments section below! Pattern: Pick a width of chains that you want for your project, then add 3- this is the base chain. Chain that amount- I chained 18 for my sample. Row 1: 1 dc in 4th chain from hook. 1 dc in each chain all the way across. Row 2: Flip over work. Ch 3. 1 dc in 2nd dc from hook. 1 dc in each dc across. Repeat Row 2 until you have the desired length of your project. *Crochet a chain that is the width of your project- base chain minus 3. Slip stitch to 1st dc of 1st row. Ch 1 and cut. Put the string at the end of the chain into the opening of your sewing needle. Weave it under and over the chains in the row.* Repeat directions in between ** with different accent colors. Finish off and weave in ends.
