Why This Baby Blanket Is for New Crocheters
This crochet baby blanket pattern is available as a step-by-step video tutorial guiding you through each step. This creates an ideal experience for beginners who don’t know yet how to read written pattern instructions. Additionally, the project uses basic stitches only, like chains, single crochets, and double crochets.
What Yarn Weight and Hook Work Best
For this crochet blanket, you can choose any medium-weight yarn you want. To recreate its striped look, you will need at least two contrasting shades. The original design features five different colors, but feel free to use as many as you like.
The designer used a 6 mm crochet hook and Caron Baby Cakes, which is a soft, self-striping yarn with lovely pastel color transitions. So if you don’t want to change colors yourself, you can use such a cake yarn.
How To Crochet This Easy Crochet Baby Blanket
Crocheting this baby blanket is very simple and straightforward. It starts with a simple foundation chain and a row of double crochet stitches. After finishing it, you will work the next rows, alternating single crochets with double crochets. Every row is finished with two turning chains that don’t count as a stitch. Finally, you will add a simple single crochet border to give your blanket a nice, clean look.
