Moe of Change is a round baby blanket with beautiful lacy detailing and a wavy outer edge that gives it a finished look. Also, it’s a sort of subset of the larger Mo Moe of Change blanket into which it can be made using additional rounds. This is a fine example that blankets needn’t be round and that they can take on designs that are not typically babyish.
How Large is the Moe of Change Blanket?
The Moe of Change Baby Blanket measures 41 inches (104 cm) across, making it just right for cribs, strollers, or as a cozy floor mat. This pattern has 43 rounds, with each round adding new textures and designs.
If you want a bigger project, you can continue into the full Mo Moe of Change version, which doubles the size while keeping the detailed pattern.
Best Yarn Choices for a Soft Baby Blanket
To show off this crochet baby blanket pattern, Frank O’Randle suggests using a yarn that changes colors, like Lion Brand Mandala in the “Gnome” colorway. It’s a cake yarn that smoothly shifts between colors, creating a beautiful gradient effect.
The pattern uses lightweight DK yarn, which is a great mix of warmth and breathability. This is perfect for babies, keeping them comfy without being too warm.
What Stitches are Used in This Design?
The Moe of Change Baby Blanket is a dream for those who love patterns with lots of texture. Some key stitches used are:
- basic stitches, including single crochet, half-double crochet, double crochet
- post stitches
- clusters, shells and v-stitches
- shaping techniques like increase and decrease methods
Due to the complex stitch combinations, it’s a project recommended for intermediate crocheters.
