This will be a light weight summer baby blanket
I will be using a size H crochet hook
and four ply, lightweight baby yarn
this is the softer yarn
this afghan will have a combination of
double crochet with a chain one between
and a small popcorn stitch
there are three double crochet in each popcorn stitch
which forms the spine or the ridge along the valley
take the loop, wrap it over the main strand of yarn
put yoru hook below, back up the opposite side
pull it snug
this creates the slip knot
this means that it should slip on your crochet hook
just like that

work a chain one
work three double crochet
right through the center of the chain

flip it over
