Hi friends,

When I found the pattern for this Crochet Classic Coverlet on the Lion Brand website, I knew I wanted to make it! You’ll need to create an account to access the free pattern download, but then you’ll have access to all their free patterns. And who doesn’t want free patterns?!? 😉

I used Caron Simply Soft yarn in White and Soft Blue with an H/5mm hook to stitch up my blanket. (I used 2 and 1/2 skeins of white and part of a skein of soft blue.) The pattern is really easy to follow. I did the 1st row of the border in white and then switched to blue for rows 2-5. The pattern also calls for a smaller hook to do the border, but I didn’t do that. I just stitched the whole blanket with my H/5mm hook.

I love the texture of this blanket! I like the way it turned out with the contrasting border, too. I’m sure I will make more in different color combos.

I think you will enjoy this pattern the next time you need to make a baby blanket. I would love to see your creations!

Thanks for stopping by,

Anita
