Let's Start...!!!

Round 1:-

Start with a Slip Knot.

Chain 102 + 7 Chain extra for the pattern to form.

This measures around 30 inches.

You can adjust the size of the blanket by altering these stitches according to your requirement.

Start with a multiple of 6 + 7 Chains extra for the pattern to form.

Round 2:-
1 Single Crochet in the Second Chain from the hook.
1 Single Crochet each in the remaining stitches.

Once you reach end, Chain 2.

Straight Edge Turning Chain:-

Usually you would Chain 2, turn and start working the next round. Here is a quick tip to have a nice straight edge which I have been using for most of my crochet projects.

• Insert the hook into the 1st chain from the bottom.
• Yarn over and pull up a loop. You should have 2 loops on the hook.
• Turn your project and insert the hook into the first stitch.(the first Double Crochet)
• Yarn over and pull up a loop. You will have 3 loops on the hook.
• Again, yarn over and pull through 2 loops. You will have 2 loops on the hook.
• Lastly, yarn over and pull through 2 loops.
• This will make one Double Crochet.

Round 3:-

(1 Double Crochet is already made while making the turning chain)

1 Double Crochet in each stitch.

Once you reach the end Chain 1 and turn your project.

Round 4:-

1 Single Crochet in each of the stitches.

Use the Straight Turning Chain method mentioned in the previous round at the end of the round.

Round 5:-

(1 Double Crochet is already made while making the turning chain)

1 Double Crochet each in next 2 stitches.

Skip 1 stitch.

1 Front post Treble Crochet in the next stitch, but instead of inserting the hook in the next stitch, Insert your hook into the stitch which is one row below the current row stitch. i.e the previous round.(i.e. in this case it would be Round 3)

1 More Front Post Treble Crochet in the next stitch from the previous round.

1 Front Post Treble Crochet in the Skipped stitch from the previous round.

Repeat((1DC)*3,Skip 1 , (1FPTrblC(in the previous round)*2 , 1(1FPTrblC in the skipped stitch(in the previous round))

Once you reach the end , Chain 1 and turn.

How to make a Front Post Treble Crochet??...here it is.....!!

• Yarn over hook twice, Insert the hook under the stitch i.e from the front of the stitch to the back of the stitch and  Pull up a loop(4 loops on hook). 
• Yarn over, pull through 2 loops on hook (3 loops remain on hook). 
• Yarn over, pull through 2 loops on hook (2 loops remain on hook).
• Yarn over, pull 2 loops on hook (1 treble crochet complete).

Round 6:-

1 Single Crochet in each of the stitches.

Use the Straight Turning Chain method at the end of the round.

Round 7 Onwards:-

Keep repeating Round 5 and Round 6 untill the size needed.

Last 2 Rounds:-

Once you reach the size of the blanket needed, Make 1 Double Crochet in each stitch in the 2nd last round and 1 Single Crochet in each stitch in the last round and weave off.
