Chunky Moss Stitch Square Baby Blanket – Free Crochet Pattern for a Cozy Gift
Welcoming a new baby with a handmade crochet blanket is one of the most heartfelt gifts you can create. This chunky moss square crochet blanket pattern features a mix of textures, combining the delicate moss stitch with the luxurious puff stitch, making it stylish and cozy.
The pink and white color scheme adds a classic yet modern touch, perfect for a nursery or baby shower gift.
Moss Square CROCHET Blanket Pattern
This blanket uses simple stitches, making it suitable for beginner crocheters. However, advanced crocheters will love the pattern and variation.
Some call the square a Moss Granny Square, but it does not qualify as a granny square, in my opinion. Use a regular moss stitch, to build your square, that is how easy this crochet project is!
Materials Needed
- Chunky yarn (Weight 5) – White and pink
- Crochet hook – Size 5.5mm (or size needed for gauge)
- Scissors
