It takes a bit of skill to crochet baby blanket patterns, but it’s a skill that is worth learning. Using this method, you can design the blanket just the way you want it to look for baby.
Required Materials
Crochet hook (size K)
Worsted skeins (4 skeins with different colors)
1 skein in neutral color
This blanket measures 36 x 32 inches, but it is possible to make it larger. You can add 14 chains to the foundation chain for every four inches. Make it smaller by removing some of the chains.
Step 1
Make the slip knot and loop. This will be the first chain. Make a foundation chain of about a 100 chains minimum. When you are done, put in 4 more chains in the end. This is the turning chair for row 1.
Step 2
Set the yarn over the hook two times. Place the hook in the center of the third stitch (this is from the yarn hook). Yarn over and pull through the first couple of loops on the hook.
Yarn over and draw again through the proceeding two loops. Yarn over one more time. Draw through the last 2 loops of the hook. You have just made the treble crochet.
Step 3
Yarn over two times and put the hook in the center of the proceeding stitch. Just continue to crochet baby blanket pattern until you get to the row’s end. Chain 4 for the turning chain.
Step 4
Begin the next row at the 2nd stitch from the endpoint. Yarn over two times. Keep doing the treble crochet until you reach the end of the row. Keep this up for three more rows. Fasten the end and chop off the yarn.
Step 5
To put in a new color, make a slip knot with another color. Put the hook in the treble stitch. Yarn over and then draw the loop. Next, chain 4 stitches.
Yarn over a couple more times and put the hook at the 2nd stitch from the end. This will start the treble crochet. Keep crocheting the new color for the next 5 rows.
Step 6
Switch colors and keep repeating the process described until the required size is reached. Use the neutral color to add the edge. A single crochet on the edge will be enough.
As you crochet baby blanket pattern edge, chain two and do a single crochet. Do this in 1 stitch. Repeat the process in the area left by the chain.
