Step-by-Step Guide for the Crochet Blanket Zig Zag Stitch
Setting Up Your Foundation Chain:
Start by crocheting a foundation chain that comprises multiples of 17 stitches. Then, add 16 extra stitches to complete your chain. Keep in mind that the final width of your blanket will be roughly 25% less than your initial chain, as the zigzag design naturally tightens the overall size.
Materials List:
- A suitable crochet hook matching your yarn’s thickness
- Yarn in your chosen “honeyed” colors
- A pair of scissors
- A yarn needle to neatly finish your work
Row-by-Row Instructions:
- Begin Your Journey: Work one double crochet (DC) in each of the next 5 chains.
- Build the Zigzag Peak: In the following chain, create 3 double crochets (DC) to form the current point of the zigzag.
- Extend the Row: Continue by placing one DC in each of the next 7 chains.
- Prepare for the Next Peak: Skip the next 2 chains along the foundation chain.
- Finish the Pattern: Then, double crochet into each of the subsequent 7 chains.
Repeat steps 2 to 5 to keep the delightful zigzag pattern consistent throughout your blanket. Detailed diagrams and our comprehensive guide are here to help you achieve perfection.
