Skip the next two stitches, single crochet into the next stitch*; repeat from * to * across the row. Your last stitch should be a single crochet stitch.
4. Repeat the second row until you've reached your desired length.
5. To finish off your blanket, work one row of single crochet stitches around the edges of the blanket.
