Materials
Crochet hook (size: 2 mm recommended in the text)
Yarn in multiple colors (e.g., pink, white, cream)
Instructions
Step 1: Foundation Chain
Start by creating a foundation chain. The length of the chain should be a multiple of 4, depending on the size of your project.
For a baby blanket, scarf, or vest, adjust the chain length as needed.
Step 2: First Row
Begin with frequent single crochet stitches:
Insert your hook into the second chain from the hook and make a single crochet.
Continue making single crochet stitches across the row.
At the end of the row, chain 2 and turn your work.
Step 3: Second Row
Skip the first stitch and make a double crochet into the third stitch.
Work three double crochets in the next three stitches.
Skip one stitch and create a long extended double crochet by inserting the hook into the skipped stitch, pulling the yarn through, and completing a double crochet.
Repeat the pattern:
Skip one stitch, work three double crochets in the next three stitches, then make a long extended double crochet in the skipped stitch.
Continue this sequence until the end of the row.
At the end of the row, make a double crochet in the last stitch, chain 1, and turn your work.
Step 4: Third Row
Make single crochet stitches in each stitch across the row.
At the end of the row, chain 1 and turn your work.
Step 5: Adding the Second Color
Join the second color yarn at the beginning of the row.
Chain 2 and turn your work.
Repeat the same pattern as in Step 3 (three double crochets, one long extended double crochet) across the row.
At the end of the row, make a double crochet in the last stitch, chain 1, and turn your work.
Step 6: Adding More Colors
Continue alternating rows of single crochet and the double crochet pattern described above.
Change colors every 2-3 rows to create a striped effect.
Final Steps
Complete as many rows as needed for your project.
Finish with a row of single crochet for a neat edge.
Fasten off and weave in all loose ends.
