🌿 Pattern: Easy Green and White Striped Blanket

✅ Skill Level: Beginner-Friendly

This pattern uses double crochet (dc) stitches and alternating green and white stripes for a clean and modern design.

🔹 Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Foundation Chain:

Using white yarn, ch a multiple of 3 + 2 (e.g., ch 122 for a baby blanket, 152 for a throw).

2. Row 1 (White):

Dc in 4th ch from hook (counts as 1st dc).
Dc in each ch across.
Turn.

3. Row 2:

Ch 3 (counts as first dc), dc in each st across.
Turn.

🧶 Repeat Row 2 until you have 4 rows total in white.

🔄 4. Color Change to Green:

On the last yarn-over of the final dc in Row 4, switch to green yarn.

Row 5–8 (Green):

Ch 3, dc in each st across.
Repeat for 4 rows.
On the last stitch of Row 8, switch back to white.

🔁 Repeat this color pattern:

Alternate 4 rows white, 4 rows green until the blanket reaches your desired length.

🧶 Optional: Add a Border

After completing the last row:

Border Round:

With green yarn, sc evenly around all 4 sides of the blanket.
Place 3 sc in each corner.
For extra texture, add a second border round in white using reverse sc (crab stitch) or shell stitch.

🎨 Design Variations:

Granny Stripe Blanket: Use granny clusters (3 dc in same st) instead of single dc stitches for a lacy texture.
Chevron (Ripple) Pattern: Use increases and decreases to create a wave effect in alternating green and white.
Moss Stitch Blanket: (Alternating sc and ch 1 spaces for a tight woven look.)
Corner-to-Corner (C2C): Diagonal design for a modern twist, alternating blocks of green and white.

💡 Tips for a Professional Finish:

Weave in ends after each color change to keep it tidy.
If using acrylic yarn, block the blanket with steam for a neat shape.
Use variegated green yarn for a leaf-like natural feel.
Consider adding a name or motif using tapestry crochet or surface slip stitch for personalization.
