It's gonna work up quickly making it a great choice for crochet blanket projects So today we're going to learn how to crochet this blanket stitch We're going to be using a five millimeter or an h8 crochet hook as well as a little bit of worsted weight yarn This is the Heather Lee yarn by Wee Crochet and Knit Picks.

So you're going to start by making a slipknot You're then going to work a foundation chain and your foundation chain will need to be a multiple of three stitches Today, I'm going to chain 21 Once you have worked that foundation chain You're going to begin row one by working two double crochets into the third chain from your hook Your chain two at the start does not count as a stitch. So one double crochet and two double crochets both into that same stitch You're then going to skip the next two stitches and into your next stitch. You're going to work one single crochet Followed by two double crochets back into the same stitch You're then going to skip the next two stitches We're now going to repeat this all the way across Into your next stitch work one single crochet Followed by two double crochet stitches Skip the next two stitches into your next stitch single crochet followed by two double crochet stitches and You're going to do this all the way across Until you come to your final stitch. I only have a couple more sets here. I'm going to keep working all the way Once you come all the way across you're going to have two stitches You're then going to work a single crochet into that final stitch That will bring you to the end of your row one You can then chain two and turn your work now for row two, we're going to begin once again two double crochets into this first stitch and Then just as you did before you're going to skip the next two stitches Into your next stitch work one single crochet followed by two double crochet stitches Skip the next two stitches Into your next stitch and this is your single crochet work one single crochet stitch followed by two double crochet stitches and You're going to repeat this all the way across Until you come to that final turning chain two when you come across to the final turning chain two So I have two more double crochet then just into this chain two space Work one single crochet stitch Then chain two and turn your work Now for the repeats in the pattern that is it You're simply going to repeat that row two beginning with your two double crochet stitches Right into the first stitch at the base of that turning chain Then skip your next two stitches single crochet and two double crochets into your next stitch repeat that all the way across finishing off at that single crochet into your chain two space and That's it that's all there is to working this wonderful crochet blanket stitch So thank you so much for joining me.
