These crochet blanket instructions are for baby sizes. If you want to make a larger blanket, you can use the same instructions but you have to increase the amount of materials used.
Materials Needed
Large-eye blunt needle (plastic)
A couple of skeins (3 colors; 50/50 cotton / acrylic yarn, medium weight)
Crochet hook size S-35
Note: the project gauge is 6 single crochet stitches = 4 inches, 6 rows = 3 1/2 inches. You will end up with dimensions of 24 inches x 36 inches.
Step 1
Pick colors that work well together. Now perform 55 stitches using a single strand. This should be done with all three colors. Make sure the strands are held together through the stitching process.
Step 2
Look for the second chain at the hook. Make one crochet when you find the chain. Make a single crochet for all the chains across. When you get to the end, you should have 54 single crochet stitches on the row.
Step 3
When you are at the end of that row, make one crochet.
Step 4
Flip the material over onto the right. This means the part that was down should now be up. To carry out these crochet blanket instructions, create one single crochet on the material. This has to be all across.
Step 5
Keep repeating step 4 until the entire material comes up to 24 inches from the bottom to the top. Slice the yarn and fasten off the end.
Step 6
Get the large eye blunt needle and weave the ends in the material.
Tips and Warnings
As you come near the end of the yarn, secure it at the end of the row. Make sure that you weave at the ends prior to beginning a new skein. It is important that the stitch size is consistent. Otherwise the outcome will not be acceptable.
To avoid problems, assess the gauge. This is to ensure the stitches will be appropriate. It will also ensure the blanket will appear fine. As you look for some yarn, make sure that the dye lots possess the same color. This is important because the colors vary depending on the dye lot. There are many types of yarns, so you have lots of options.
These crochet blanket instructions may seem difficult to follow, but once you start, the process will be easy. You just have to be patient. After you make the first blanket, the rest should be easy.
