I’ve included a video tutorial that shares tips for working this pattern a little further down in the pattern notes. If you’ve never tried crocheting in the 3rd loop of a half double crochet stitch, this is an easy skill you’ll pick up quickly because it’s used a lot in this blanket pattern! This blanket pattern introduces what may by a new-to-you technique: working in the 3rd loop of a half double crochet (basically this is working into the “yarn over” of the stitch). Look in the “additional notes section for a link to a sizing chart that may be helpful. The two chains you skip at the beginning count as the first half double crochet stitch of the row. Just make sure the starting chain is worked in a multiple of 3, then add one more chain. Since beds, couches and people <3 come in all sizes, I’ve included instructions for adjusting this easy crochet blanket pattern to be as narrow or wide as you want.
