What Makes the Marshmallow Blanket So Special?
When I look at this crochet baby blanket, I see cheerful pastel colors, soft squishy fabric, and bumpy texture – in other words, handmade comfort at its finest. If you would like to add a beautiful, cozy layer to your little one’s nursery, this project is sure to be a cherished piece. What’s more, it works up so fast you can make another one as a gift for a fellow parent.
Crochet Supplies – Everything You’ll Need
Before you start working on this project, prepare three skeins of super bulky yarn and a 10 mm crochet hook. The photographed sample features Bernat Baby Blanket yarn in colors White, Coral Blossom and Buttercup. It’s a thick chenille yarn that results in a gorgeous texture and a delightfully squishy fabric.
If you want to make this crochet blanket for a baby boy, you can easily swap the pink color for blue or go with a completely different shade combination.
How to Crochet the Marshmallow Blanket
For the Marshmallow Blanket, you need to know only three basic crochet stitches. It starts with a simple foundation chain and then repeats the same row of single crochets and double crochets. Don’t forget to finish off your crochet baby blanket with a single crochet border for stability and a polished look.

Adjusting the Size of the Blanket
The Marshmallow Blanket is very easy to adjust. It means you can turn it into any size depending on whether you want the blanket for the cot, pram or receiving. To increase its width, chain any multiple of 2 +4 in the foundation row. To make it longer, continue working the second row until you get the dimensions you want.
The original blanket features 28 pattern repeats and measures 33 inches in width and 38 inches in length.
