Materials Needed: Yarn: Light worsted weight yarn or baby yarn of your choice Hook: 5.0 mm (H-8) crochet hook Other: Yarn needle for weaving in ends, scissors
Stitches Used: Chain (ch) Single Crochet (sc) Double Crochet (dc) Slip Stitch (sl st)
**Foundation Chain:** – Chain 130 stitches (multiples of 3 + 1)
**Row 1:** – Starting from the 4th chain from the hook, work 1 double crochet (dc) in each chain across.
**Row 2:** – Chain 2, then work a dc in the next stitch (counts as 2 dc closed together). – *Chain 4, then work 3 dc together across the next 3 stitches.* – Repeat * across, end with 2 dc together.
**Row 3:** – Chain 4 (first 3 chains count as 1 dc). – In each chain-4 space, work 1 single crochet (sc), separated by 4 chains. – Repeat to the end.
**Row 4:** – Change color at the end of Row 3 while closing the last stitch. – Chain 3 while carrying the other color along the stitches.
– Turn, then work: – 1 dc in first chain space, – 3 dc in each 4-chain space across, – 1 dc in the space of 1 chain and the 3rd chain of the starting chain.
**Row 5:** – Dc across each stitch from previous row. – Change color in the last dc.
**Row 6 to Row 9:** – Repeat pattern: – Row 6: Like Row 2 (clusters of 3 dc together with ch-4 spaces) – Row 7: Like Row 3 (arcs with sc and ch-4) – Row 8: Like Row 4 (groups of 3 dc in ch-4 spaces) – Row 9: Like Row 5 (dc across)
**Color Changing:** – Always carry the unused yarn behind your work and secure it as you go. This avoids cutting and weaving ends later. Repeat Rows 2-9 for desired length.
This baby blanket pattern is not only adorable but also easy enough to make while binge-watching your favorite show or enjoying a cup of tea. It’s a great project to keep your hands busy and your heart full as you craft something beautiful for a new baby.
