What Yarn Works Best for the Quiet Tides Baby Blanket?
The pattern calls for medium-weight yarn that offers warmth and good stitch definition. It can be yarn of your choice or the one recommended by the designer.
The blanket seen in the photo was made using Circulo Alpaya, which is a blend of 70% organic pima cotton and 30% baby alpaca. It’s the perfect blend for creating baby items like blankets. You will need 3 balls of white, 2 balls of teal, and 2 hanks of light blue.
How Big Is This Crochet Baby Blanket?
The blanket measures 34” x 28.5” after blocking, which makes a small-to-medium baby blanket. It’s big enough to cover a baby in the crib, during walks, or work as a car seat blanket. Would like to make it bigger? You can easily adjust its size by making a foundation chain of a multiple of 3 (+ 3).
What Stitches Are Used in the Quiet Tides Baby Blanket?
For this crocheted baby blanket, you will use a unique stitch pattern that creates a gorgeous textured look. It alternates between rows worked with single crochets and ones that use front post double crochets to produce those surface stitch lines. You will also change yarn colors quite frequently to achieve a beautiful multicolored effect.
