Is The Elizabeth Stitch Easy To Learn?
The Pebble Beach Baby Blanket is a simple one-row repeat pattern worked with Elizabeth Stitch, also known as Mini Bean Stitch. Even if you’re a beginner, you can get the hang of this technique with ease. You create it by working two partial stitches into the same loop and then adding a simple chain. This method will let you produce a reversible pebbled texture and a nice flowy fabric.
What Yarn Should I Use For This Baby Blanket?
For a crochet baby blanket, be sure to choose yarn that won’t irritate your baby’s delicate skin. Knit Picks Heatherly Worsted is a premium blend yarn and a great option for this project. It’s made of 80% acrylic and 20% merino wool. The designer used 7 skeins of this yarn in three muted colors: 3 skeins in Snowflake, 2 skeins in Otter, and 2 skeins in Bedtime.
What Size Is The Finished Blanket?
The blanket measures 32″ wide and 46″ long, though its size may vary depending on your tension and supplies used. The finished project is a rectangular blankie and a cozy nursery accessory. Use it to cover your baby in the crib, stroller, or car seat. It will also work perfectly for swaddling or as a playmat.
