Notes:
The chain 1 in the beginning does not count as a stitch, do not count it and do not crochet into it
The chain 1 in the beginning can be a little difficult to see. It’s easy to assume it’s a stitch and crochet into it. You might want to use a stitch marker to mark it to avoid it. Making sure you always end on the single crochet can help but when you complete the single crochet rows of black, be mindful to avoid the chain 1. The edges almost have bumps - not a straight edge.
I used a random color generator in row groups of 2 to create this look! In the pattern, I share the number of rows for each color so the amount of each green is used (almost) evenly but you can create your own unique look with random striping in rows of 2 for each green and then the black in between. For each row, the counts are either 2 rows, 4 rows, or 6 rows.
There is no outside boarder on the finished blanket but I did play around with a row of single crochets in black along all four edges and it did look nice! That is an option if you don’t like raw edges.
Weave in ends as you progress
I attempted to not fasten off each color but I did not like how it looked. It creates a much cleaner look if you fasten off each color and weave it in
