Hi friends,

I love the crochet waffle stitch! It has such a great texture on both sides and makes a beautiful cushy blanket. It’s an easy stitch to learn using double crochet and front post double crochet.

I designed a baby blanket using this fun stitch. I crocheted my blanket using Baby Bee Soft & Snuggly in the color Clover Brook with an H/5mm crochet hook. The colors of this yarn are much prettier in person – a really pretty soft blue and green. I wasn’t able to capture the true colors with my camera. ☹️

You can find the pattern along with links to free PDFs – one with photos and one without – below.

Repeat Rows 2 and 3 until blanket measures about 34 inches, ending with Row 2. 

Do not turn after last row. 

Begin working in Rounds. 

Round 1: ch 1. sc evenly around, working 3 sc in each corner. Join with ss to first sc. 

Rounds 2-5: ch 1. sc in blo in each stitch around, working 3 sc in each corner. Join with ss to first sc. 

Fasten off and weave in ends. 

Finished blanket measures about 32 inches by 37 inches. 

You can easily change the size of your blanket by changing the number of stitches in the beginning chain or adding or subtracting the number of rows. Just be sure your beginning chain is in multiples of 3 plus 2 stitches.

I hope you enjoy this pattern!
