Super easy Crochet Baby Blanket for New Arrival

A new baby is one of the most Godly miracles in the world.

If the new arrival is related, it is even more precious….

So, when this grandma decided to make something more ‘lasting’ for her new grandson, Jacques, she went to one of her happy places – Pinterest for inspiration.

The pattern had to be:

• ​Super easy
• Quick and
• with not extra sewing required

Super Easy Crochet Baby Blanket Pattern

(written instructions)

I used the pattern as provided in the related post (as copied from the original post in All Things Bright and Beautiful Crafts) but adjusted the rows according to my colours:

Row 1: With Lime, chain 183 (NOTE: To make bigger work in multiples of 15 or to get the symmetry multiples of 30)

Row 2: Sc in second st from hook, * Sc in each of next 14 ch, 3 sc in next ch, sc in each of next 14 ch, skip 1 ch, repeat from * across, ending with the skip 1 st, sc in last st, ch 1, turn.

Row 3: Working in back loop of sts throughout, sc in first sc, skip 1 sc, * sc in each of next 14 sc’s, 3 sc in next sc, sc in each of next 14 sts, skip 2 sts, repeat from * across, ending last repeat with skip 1 st, sc in last st, ch 1, turn.

Row 4 and rest:  Repeat Row 3 for the rest of the rows.

​

Here is how I crocheted my rows:

Lime –  10 rows

White – 6 rows

Navy –  2 rows

White – 6 rows

Grey –  10 rows

White – 6 rows

Navy –  2 rows

White – 6 rows

Lime –  10​ rows 

Repeat all the above rows x 2, ending with the Lime again.

(My lime yarn was also a bit thicker than the rest, so the rows ended up being the same height)​

Made with Baby Gold yarn, with usage of 100g ball per 10 rows.
