Yarn and Hook Selection – What’s Best?
If you intend to make a baby blanket with this unique crochet stitch, a lightweight yarn like DK or worsted is best. Blends of cotton and bamboo are good for warmer weather, while acrylic or wool blends add extra warmth in the colder seasons.
To get a delicate but still sturdy fabric, a crochet hook between 3.5 mm and 5 mm works well, depending on the yarn weight. If you prefer a more open and airy look, go for a slightly bigger hook. For something denser and cozier, use a smaller one.
How to Crochet a Baby Blanket with This Stitch
The La Petite Grise Motif Stitch has a simple repeat pattern, making it easy to crochet once you’ve got it down. The stitch pattern features gentle waves and delicate open spaces, creating a light and airy design perfect for a cozy crochet baby blanket.
Start by making a foundation chain based on the stitch multiple of 13 + 12 for symmetry, plus 2 extra stitches for the edges. The first row begins with shell-like increases and decreases to form the signature wave pattern. Each repeat mixes double crochets with strategically placed decreases, forming the scalloped design.
Once you’ve completed the first few rows, the pattern repeats itself in a four-row cycle. This lets you easily customize the blanket’s length. Just keep crocheting until your blanket is the desired size.
Then, finish with a clean border. A simple single crochet or picot edge adds a nice, polished touch.
