Baby Blanket Crochet Pattern

This is an easy blanket and the stitch could be worked for any size blanket and any weight yarn.  To work out how many chain you need for your blanket just crochet a length of chain to the desired width of your blanket making sure you have an odd number of chain.  When you have worked most of the 1st row check the width of your row and undo any excess chain but make sure you end with a single crochet.

Materials Used

  • I used 3 200g balls of baby mint and 2 200g balls of baby blue 8 ply luxury wool from Bendigo Woollen Mills. 8 ply wool is similar to light worsted in the US and double knit in the UK, but the pattern would work with any weight yarn.Crochet baby blanket green woolCrochet baby blanket blue wool

Repeat row 2 until your blanket is the desired length.  I worked green on my blanket for 29” or 74cm and then worked 14.5” or 37cm of blue.  If using 2 colors fasten off but if only using 1 color don’t fasten off before the edging.
