**Start­ing Chain and Foun­da­tion Row**
- To start, cre­ate a foun­da­tion chain with your black yarn. The size of your blan­ket is cus­tomiz­able, so chain an appro­pri­ate num­ber for your desired width.
- Work a row of sin­gle cro­chet stitch­es (sc) across the foun­da­tion chain after com­plet­ing the chain. 

**Stitch Pat­tern**
- The stitch pat­tern for this blan­ket con­sists of sim­ple sin­gle cro­chet (sc) 
**Col­or Changes**
- The black and white stripes in your blan­ket are achieved by switch­ing yarn col­ors at the end of each row. Be sure to car­ry the unused yarn along the edge to min­i­mize the num­ber of ends to weave in.

**Repeat Rows for Desired Size**
- Con­tin­ue repeat­ing Rows 1 and 2, alter­nat­ing between black and white yarn, until your blan­ket reach­es the desired length.

This cro­chet baby blan­ket can be done in any size hook and yarn. I used medi­um worsted yarn and G hook. I love how easy it is to make so it’s great for begin­ners! So sim­ple, but so pret­ty! Gauge: 1.5 inch­es per 5 stitch­es with a G hook.

In the video, this pat­tern may look like the sides and bot­tom aren’t straight because I for­got chain 1 after the third row, which I explained in the video. Also, my bot­tom chain need­ed to be loos­er, which I also explained.

**Soft Yarn for Cozy Blan­kets:**
When choos­ing the yarn for your cro­chet blan­ket, opt for soft and cud­dly mate­ri­als to ensure that your fin­ished blan­ket is as com­fort­able as it is beau­ti­ful. Soft yarn, such as che­nille or bulky yarn, not only adds warmth but also enhances the over­all tex­ture of your project. Whether cro­chet­ing a baby blan­ket pat­tern or a giant throw blan­ket, the yarn’s soft­ness will make your cre­ation even more invit­ing. So, pay close atten­tion to your yarn selec­tion and indulge in the lux­u­ri­ous feel of work­ing with the per­fect yarn for your cozy and gor­geous blan­kets. Your fin­ished blan­ket will be a tes­ta­ment to soft yarn’s sooth­ing and tac­tile qual­i­ties, mak­ing it an ide­al choice for wrap­ping up on a chilly evening or adding a touch of ele­gance to any room in your home.
