What You Need to Get Started
To complete this baby blanket pattern, prepare worsted-weight yarn in at least 3 colors and a 6 mm crochet hook. Nursery accessories should be soft and easy to wash. Therefore, choosing the right yarn for your blankie is crucial if you want it to be warm, comfy, and durable.
Some of the most popular options include:
- Red Heart Super Saver – 100% acrylic yarn, soft to the skin and easily washable.
- Lion Brand Wool Ease Solids, Heathers, Twists – a snug blend of acrylic and wool.
- Paintbox Yarns Cotton – a great option for a summer baby blanket.
Each brand features a delightful range of colors to match your baby’s gender or nursery theme.
Stitches Used in This Blanket Pattern
This beautiful crochet baby blanket pattern is a great choice for those who would like to elevate their crafting with new lace and colorwork methods. The open-stitched triangle motifs are made with the filet crochet, which involves working chains and double crochet stitches.
How to Make It Larger or Smaller
The finished blanket is approx. 30 x 33 inches, but you can easily adjust the size if you want it bigger.
For a larger size, you need to increase the starting chain in multiples of 12. Don’t forget to add 6 chains at the end of your foundation chain for the turning.
