In this video I share how to make this cozy chunky blanket using a simple one row repeat version of the herringbone stitch. If you're short on time or want a mindless make, this is the one!

The blanket featured measures 4 x 5 ft (48 x 60 in)
I used 4 skeins of Loops & Threads Chenille Home Slim Yarn (Rose)
If you add an edging you might want to get 5 but you can still make it work with 4. If you are making the same size blanket , then reserve 60 grams of yarn for the sc border.

Yarn :
My direct link to the yarn is not working anymore. I'm not sure if they've discontinued it or not.
You are specifically looking for the one with "slim" in the title. A good substitute would be Bernat Blanket Yarn. This link will take you there as well.

Tips:
– Chain 10-15 more than your desired width. This stitch is similar to a decrease and likes to shrink.
For example, I started with 76 chains but would have been better off starting with 86. Tension varies so please gauge your chains with a tape measure for better accuracy.
– If using a different yarn and hook size, make a gauge swatch to determine how many extra chains you need to account for shrinkage.
– Maintain loose tension for an even stitch appearance.
– Use stitch markers to keep track of the first stitch in each row.

🧶 Pattern:

Foundation: Ch to desired width. Ch 1 and turn.

Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook. Place marker in this st. *lsc over the post of the last sc, sc in next ch; rep from * across. Turn.

Row 2: Ch 1, sc in first st (mark this st). *lsc in each st across; rep from * to end. Turn.
Repeat Row 2 until blanket reaches desired length.

Border (optional): With RS facing, work 1 round of sc evenly around, placing 3 sc in each corner.
Fasten off, weave in ends (apply Fray Check or white glue to prevent fraying if needed).

Resizing:
