The Stitches

To create the texture in the blanket, you will need to know a few basic crochet stitches, such as the double crochet and single crochet stitch. These two beginner-friendly stitches will be worked together in one stitch to create the beautiful texture you see.

Learn more about each crochet stitch below before you get started.

Double Crochet (dc): 

1. Wrap the yarn over (yo) the hook, insert the hook into the specified st.
2. Yo the hook again, draw the yarn through the st, so there are 3 loops on the hook
3. Yo the hook again draw it through 2 loops, so there are 2 loops on the hook
4. Yo the hook, draw it through the final 2 loops.

Single Crochet (sc):

1. Insert hook from front to back in the second chain from the hook or designated stitch
2. Bring the yarn over (YO) the hook and pull the yarn back through the chain (or stitch) from back to front (2 loops on hook).
3. Yo and pull through both loops on the hook.
