🎄 FULL TUTORIAL — How to Make This Crochet Christmas Gift Blanket

---

🧶 PART 1 — CROCHET THE BLANKET (Detailed Step-by-Step)

The blanket in the picture looks like a soft ribbed texture.
The easiest way to recreate it is using the Half Double Crochet Slip Stitch (HDC SLST) rib stitch, which makes a thick, squishy fabric.

⭐ Materials

• Medium Weight Yarn (No. 4) – soft pink
• Hook: 6.0 mm (or 5.5 mm for tighter fabric)
• Scissors
• Yarn needle

⭐ STEP-BY-STEP PATTERN

1️⃣ Step 1 — Foundation

Chain 76 (or any even number).
This creates the width of your blanket (about 40–45 cm).

2️⃣ Step 2 — Row 1

• Insert hook into 2nd chain from hook
• Make HDC SLST:

✔ How to do HDC SLST:

1. Yarn over
2. Insert hook into stitch
3. Pull up a loop (3 loops on hook)
4. Pull first loop through all 3 loops

→ This creates a tight, stretchy rib texture.

• Repeat HDC SLST in every chain.
• Chain 1, turn.

---

3️⃣ Step 3 — Row 2 (Start Texture)

Work all stitches in the BACK LOOP ONLY (BLO):

• HDC SLST BLO in every stitch
• Chain 1, turn

The BLO is what creates the deep rib lines.

4️⃣ Step 4 — Repeat Rows

Repeat Row 2 until your blanket height is about:
