For example: <em>ch 70<\/em> (adjust up or down depending on your gauge and desired finished size).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then proceed to next row.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2 \u2013 Row 1 (Base Row)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Starting in the 2nd chain from hook, work <strong>sc<\/strong> (or whatever base stitch the video uses) across the chain until the end.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At end of row, <strong>ch 1<\/strong>, turn your work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This establishes the base and sets your width.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3 \u2013 Row 2 (Establish Texture)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Work across the row using a simple repeating texture (for example: <em>dc in next stitch, skip 1 stitch, dc in next stitch<\/em>, or <em>hdc in next 2 stitches, skip 2, repeat<\/em>). The video likely shows a basic texture which you\u2019ll repeat every row.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At end of row, ch 1, turn.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4 \u2013 Subsequent Rows \u2013 Repeat the Texture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>From Row 2 onward, <strong>repeat the same texture row<\/strong> until your square becomes large enough.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For example, keep repeating <em>dc skip-1 dc skip-1<\/em> (or the pattern shown) until the square reaches the desired size for your blanket.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Periodically stop and measure: pull your square flat and measure width; stop when it meets your target width (assuming you\u2019re working square shape).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Because you are making one big square, you don\u2019t need to join multiple motifs unless you want a bigger blanket; you could instead continue increasing or simply continue rows until it\u2019s large enough.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5 \u2013 Finishing the Square &amp; Border<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Once your square is at desired size, work <strong>one row of sc<\/strong> across (and up the sides) to create a neat edge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then optionally add a decorative border: for example, <em>ch 2, skip 1 st, sc in next st<\/em> around; or <em>shells<\/em> or <em>picots<\/em> if you\u2019re comfortable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fasten off the yarn and weave all loose ends neatly with tapestry needle.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 6 \u2013 (If you join multiple squares)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If instead of one large square you want to make several medium squares and join them to create a blanket: make multiple squares following the pattern above, then join them using either <strong>slip-stitch join<\/strong>, <strong>whip-stitch with tapestry needle<\/strong>, or <strong>join-as-you-go method<\/strong>.
