This easy crochet baby blanket pattern is designed for beginners. All you need are the following materials.
Required Materials
Plastic large-eye blunt needle
Crochet hook size S-35
2 skeins each of three colors (medium weight, 50/50 acrylic/cotton yarn)
Note: this blanket has a gauge of 6 single crochet stitches = 4 inches, 6 rows = 3 1/2 inches. The blanket dimensions are 24 inches x 36 inches.
Step 1
Make 55 single crochet stitches. A strand of each color should be held during all through the stitch.
Step 2
Locate the 2nd chain from the hook. Make a single crochet. Make a single crochet chain for all the chains all across. You will end up with 54 single crochet stitches.
Step 3
Make a one single crochet link at row’s end.
Step 4
To make this easy crochet baby blanket pattern, flip the material on the right. The part that is faced up will now be down.
Step 5
Make single crochet stitches in all the single crochet links.
Step 6
Repeat this until the blanket reaches 24 in (bottom to top). Slice the yarn and fasten the end. Use the blunt needle to weave the ends.
Various Pattern Designs
You can look at magazines and websites for pattern inspiration. You don’t have to copy the patterns in their entirety; you can combine various designs. Next, sketch a design and use it for reference.
When buying yarn, make certain the skeins come with similar dye lots.
Ensure the yarn is soft and suitable for the baby. Unless it is really necessary, steer clear from yarns that are coarse or have glitters and sparkles. The colors are up to you. Just select colors that are suitable for your design. Bright hues are usually preferred for babies.
Tips and Warnings
You can add the initials of the baby on the blanket if you like. After you reach the yarn’s end, secure it at row’s end. Before you begin a new skein, weave the ends first.
Ensure the stitches’ sizes are similar. Check the gauge to be certain the material is proportional. When finished, stretch the blanket a bit. Before letting the baby use the blanket, wash it. Allow it to dry.
This easy crochet baby blanket pattern is not as complicated as it seems. After you get used to the process, other more intricate designs will be easier to do. Experimenting with various patterns is another way to learn more about this craft.
