Simple Receiving Blanket Part 2

Welcome to the second portion of the "simple receiving blanket" tutorial. The crochet part is a touch harder because you are punching your hook through the fabric while covering the sewing stitches. But it is worth the effort!

I used a US B/1-2.25mm hook and it worked just fine, but a thread crochet hook may be easier on the hands when punching your hook through the fabric.

Stitch glossary:

sc=single crochet

dc=double crochet

shell=three double crochet in space specified

ss=slip stitch

ch=chain

*=repeat

Round 1-Sc under every single point of your zig-zag stitch. Sc until you reach the first sc. Ss in first sc.

 Round 2-Chain 3. 2 dc in same space (Shell created). *Ch 1, Skip 3 sc's and Shell in next space.* Continue * * until you reach first shell, ss and weave in ends.

Round 3 (optional)-after ss,ch 1, sc around blanket until you reach first sc. ss THEN weave in ends.

A round 3 would just finish it off. But it looks good either way (without round 3). But it is up to you. I hope you had a pleasant experience making a wonderfully easy receiving blanket!
