This beautiful vintage-inspired crochet baby blanket from Patons features the most elegant and charming design. It’s a square-shaped beauty with a gorgeous layered texture that will become a precious treasure in your family. With an incredible softness and warmth, the Fluffy Meringue Stitch Blanket ensures every little one feels comfy and cozy.
What Makes the Fluffy Meringue Stitch Blanket So Special
There are many blankets that are warm and cozy, but they lack that sophisticated element. This pattern lets you create a wonderful nursery accessory that offers both!
The blanket features a unique combination of double crochets, V-stitches, and picots, which results in a gorgeous three-dimensional fabric that lends vintage charm. Whether kept in a single solid shade or made with colorful cake yarn, it’s sure to delight with its intricate look!
Yarn & Hook Pairing for Soft Perfection
To make the most of this crochet blanket stitch pattern, go for fine fingering yarn and a 3.5 mm hook. The original design was made with Patons North America Beehive Baby Fingering, but it is no longer available. Here are some great substitutes you can switch to:
- Stylecraft Special for Babies 4ply
- Lion Brand Mandala String
- Go Handmade Soft Bamboo Fine
- Patons UK Baby Fab 4 Ply
Make sure to check your gauge before starting your project and adjust the hook size if needed.
