Easy Beginner’s Baby Blanket

Baby blankets are what got so many of us started in crochet. This Easy Beginner’s Baby Blanket crochet pattern by Tina Butler will be a great project for the newbies to practice their skills and aim at something bigger. Once done, you can gift it to your parents-to-be friends or keep it for your own child!

Why This Blanket Pattern Is Great for Beginners?

There are multiple reasons why this crochet baby blanket pattern is perfect for beginners. First of all, this project relies entirely on basic stitches. In fact, all you need to know to be able to make it is chain, half double crochet, and single crochet for the border.

Secondly, the chunky yarn makes it a real quickie! The stitches work up super fast and are well visible, too.

Supplies You’ll Need

Apart from a positive mood, you won’t need much to crochet this easy baby blanket. The pattern uses Bernat Blanket, which is a super bulky chenille yarn with an incredibly soft texture.

The body of the blanket features a neutral cream shade, while the border is made with a beautiful rainbow hue for visual contrast. Of course, you can play around with your own shade combinations to show off your creative side. I’d love to see your ideas in the comments below!

 

How to Customize Your Baby Blanket Size

The pattern allows you to make a cozy crochet baby blanket that is very easy to adjust in terms of size.

To make it wider, you need to add a few stitches to the foundation chain. To make it longer, you simply work the next rows until you reach the desired length. In this way, you can easily create a blanket that perfectly matches the size of the crib or stroller.
