The Moss Stitch in a Square Blanket, designed by Sarah Zimmerman, makes a truly outstanding project that simply cannot go unnoticed. It features an exciting color blend that gives it a fresh and striking look. This piece will work great as a baby crochet blanket as well as a regular one once you adjust its size. It will do for beginners who already have basic stitches at their fingertips.
A Beautiful Baby Blanket Project
This crochet baby blanket comes in a modern stripy square worked in continuous rounds. It draws mostly on the moss stitch technique, which, once mastered, will make the whole creation process very relaxing and straightforward. Not only that, but it will lend your blanket that gorgeous texture seen in the photo.
Tools & Yarn You Need Before You Start
One ball of self-striping aran yarn will end up in a 25” × 25” square crochet blanket. However, the designer recommends using two balls, which will result in a larger project. The yarn leftovers you can easily use for adding cute little tassels to each corner for the final touch. You will also need a 5 mm crochet hook to complete it.
The photographed sample was stitched up using Caron Big Cakes, but any other color-changing yarn will turn out just as great!
How to Crochet the Moss Stitch Square Blanket
Square-shaped blankets are so fun to make! They are not only simple but also easily adaptable.
This pattern works up with moss stitches in continuous rounds. You start with a magic ring and then follow the stitch pattern. The best thing about this project is that you can make it as big as you want by crocheting the next rounds.
Whether you need a small stroller blanket, a cozy covering for the crib, or a standard-sized blanket to snuggle up in front of the TV, this pattern has got you covered!
