Create a handmade baby blanket with a cozy winter scene! This Snowplow Blanket Crochet Pattern by Sarah Zimmerman offers a fun way to make a delightful baby accessory perfect for the cooler months. It features a vivid design with winter-themed motifs, transforming every nursery into a true winter wonderland!
What Yarns Are Used to Create the Blanket Texture?
This crochet baby blanket pattern plays with different yarn textures to create a stunning design inspired by the winter season. The major part of the blanket’s body is worked with Bernat Super Value Solids – a smooth aran yarn in a blue color.
The bottom section, on the other hand, features Bernat Pipsqueak, which is a plush chenille yarn in bulky weight. Its pure white shade and fluffy look perfectly mimic the texture of delicate powder snow. Be sure to use both yarns while working your blanket to get the same beautiful results and delightful feel.
How Big Is the Snowplow Blanket When Finished?
When made with the recommended supplies, the Snowplow Blanket will measure approx. 33″ x 42″ (84 x 106.5 cm). It’s a rectangle-shaped covering that will work fantastically as a crib or toddler bed blanket. You can also easily make it bigger or smaller by adjusting the starting chain or fixing the number of worked rows.
Is This Crochet Baby Blanket Difficult to Make?
The pattern includes an easy one-row repeat and a simple border. You will work it using mostly chains and single crochets, which makes it an accessible project for those with basic experience.
The trickiest parts might be crocheting with bulky chenille yarn and working small appliqué pieces. That’s why it’s not recommended for absolute beginners.
