What You’ll Need to Get Started
Acrylic yarn in medium weight (aran or worsted) will give your project the same delightful softness and cozy feel.
The body of the blanket is made with Lion Brand Mandala Ombre in Tranquil. It’s a good quality ombre cake yarn with a gorgeous color gradient. For the edging, the designer used Lion Brand Basic Stitch Anti-Pilling in Snow.
Before you go full steam ahead with this crochet C2C baby blanket, you will also need two hook sizes – a 5.50 mm to work the body and a 5.50 mm one for the border.
How to Crochet the Sherbet Baby Blanket
The Sherbet Baby Blanket is suitable for advanced beginners who would like to try their hand at the corner-to-corner moss stitch technique. What’s cool about this project is that you can decide whether you want to make it square or rectangular.
The blanket’s diagonal stripes are worked from corner to corner in three sections. The first part involves increasing on both sides of the blankets. In the second section, you’re gonna increase on one side and decrease on the other to add length to the fabric. This is the part you can skip if you want to create a square-shaped blanket. The last section requires you to decrease on both sides.
Once you have the body of your blanket done, you can add a cute bobble moss edging for extra flair.
