Hi friends,

I have a fun new crochet baby blanket to share with you. 🧶 It’s a super easy pattern that is great for beginners as well as seasoned crocheters. It’s made using the blanket stitch, which is a simple combination of single and double crochet stitches. The pattern is a repeat of a single row, so it’s a great project to work on while watching your favorite movie or Netflix show.

The blanket stitch has such a beautiful texture! I added a simple border of single crochet and double crochet to my blanket. I stitched it up with I Love This Yarn in White with an I/5.5mm crochet hook. You can find the pattern below along with a link to a free PDF if you’d like to print it. 😊
