Baby Blue Eyes Blanket
A handcrafted crochet blanket with baby blue eyes and beige square patterns is draped over a chair. Close-up views show detailed stitching.

When I look at this amazing blanket, I feel like the past and present, winter and summer, are coming together. If you are looking for a timeless blanket, the Baby Blue Eyes by PKnightonHaener will be the ideal choice.

A Beautiful Pattern Variation

The Baby Blue Eyes Baby Blanket is a lovely mix of designs. The main body is made up of nine squares from the Stardust Melodies CAL, which boasts textured designs.

To connect the squares, the crocheter used Priscilla Hewitt’s Flat Braid Square Join method, tweaking it a bit to make it smooth and elegant.

How to Make the Border

Now, let’s talk about the magic in the border. Drawing ideas from the Happily Ever Afghan Pattern, the crocheter added something special by using the Granny Spike Stitch. This later evolved into “BBE Stitch” (Baby Blue Eyes Stitch). This little change adds texture, making the border truly stand out.

Best Yarn and Hook for the Perfect Finish

To create the cozy feel of this crochet baby blanket, the crocheter picked Hobby Lobby’s “I Love This Cotton!” yarn. The color scheme features soothing shades of Periwinkle and Arctic Blue accented with a soft Ivory. A 5 mm crochet hook was used to get the right tension and stitch detail.

I like this pattern very much, but for a non-english or non-american person, reading this instructions is exhausting ! Why not convert them in a chart or scheme, it’s a lot more easy to understand !
