📌 This stich has the most wonderful texture as it has a raised, bobble-like effect. The blanket is SO soft and SUPER squishy!

Another great feature of this blanket is that it’s really quick and easy to work up – you only have to repeat 1 row throughout the pattern!

====================

📌 I finished my blanket off with a simple border consisting of 4 rounds of single crochet stitches. I then attached a pom pom to each corner.

📌 ADJUST THE FINISHED SIZE / USE A DIFFERENT YARN WEIGHT:

====================

📌 For ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS:

I would suggest that you practise this pattern with a small sample first: make a chain of 20 then follow the pattern from there.

====================

📌 DESCRIPTION:

For the yarn I used Paintbox Yarns Simply Chunky, which is a #5 bulky yarn, in the colour Duck Egg Blue. For the crochet hook, I used a K hook (6.5mm).

💙 MATERIALS USED (AFFILIATE LINKS):

This blanket really does work up super fast and is great if you need a last-minute gift for an upcoming baby shower!

This is a beginner-friendly crochet tutorial, and as long as you know how to work the following stitches, you’ll have no problem in crocheting this sweet baby blanket:
ch – chain
dc – double crochet
sc – single crochet
sk – skip
sl st – slip stitch
st - stitch

This who put dislike are not realistic.
Lady explain so well with great calm worm voice.Meny thanks for great video!!!!

I managed to make my first ever baby blanket (2nd ever crochet project) after following these instructions. I had to replay a few parts in the video before I fully understood and even then I made some mistakes along the way... but the finished project still came out absolutely beautiful and I am so grateful!

[zoejames]

I'm quite an experienced crocheter and knitter now too, but when there's a pregnancy announcement, I always come back to this video to make this blanket because it works up so quickly and people love it! Thank you!

[JulieMrsP]

This is an amazing tutorial, you’re voice is very soothing, no loud music, no drama, very very well presented.
My new “to go “stitch.
Thank You for taking the time to make this amazing tutorial.

I just made this blanket and it was easier than the finished blanket would suggest! I made it a bit larger with a beginning chain of 92 (90 + 2); next time might try 89 (87 + 2). I couldn't find #5 wt. baby yarn so I used Caron Simply Soft #4 wt. and a K hook with loose tension. I wanted it lofty and squishy. I worked into the back nubs of the beginning chain for Row 1.
For this one, on the border I used a J hook for rounds 2 thru 4 of the border to get a little firmer edge. I did not add any pompoms to it. It took 3 skeins (315 yards each) and a little bit of a 4th skein. I'm very pleased with how it turned out.
Thank you for this tutorial! I'll make more of these.

I wish I could add a photo, but I finished this today - my very first crochet project. Of all the things, I found the corners on the border the most challenging. It looks so nice and I’m very proud of myself. Thank you 🙏

Finally I understand what’s happening. You a great teacher. First time watching you.

[jankovarik]

Super! Thanks for the clear instructions!

This is the BEST blanket tutorial of the many I've seen using this stitch! Thank you!

I've made two baby blankets using this pattern so far and they turned out beautifully. I used Caron Simply Soft #4 wt yarn in white and still used a K hook. I started with a chain of 92 (90 + 2). It made a soft lofty blanket that was slightly larger than 28 inches, which is what I was hoping for. For Row 1, I worked the SC stitches into the back nubs of the beginning chain, which is what I generally do, but otherwise strictly followed your pattern directions.

There are many blanket videos using this stitch but none are as good or as clearly explained as this one, imo. Many of the others don't include the first row of SC, which is needed. If they mention it at all they don't tell you how many stitches to put in the beginning chain (a multiple of 3, then add 2 more stitches).

Also this border is perfect for this blanket imo. The blanket has a lot of texture and needs a clean, simple border. (I did not add any pompoms to mine.) This blanket is excellent for both boys and girls, and in white or maybe cream you can't go wrong even if you don't know the gender or nursery colors.

You're an excellent teacher; thanks and God bless!


One other note about joining a new skein for beginners, because a couple of comments have asked:
There may be other good ways to do it, but to join a new skein, I pull up the loops (will be 2 loops if a SC and 3 loops if a DC) of the stitch on my hook, then grab the yarn of the new skein with the hook to pull it through the loops to complete or continue the stitch as usual, leaving both tails at least about 6 inches long. Before weaving the tails in later, I tie a simple knot (not too tightly) and then weave each end in separately, changing directions a few times. I don't think you have to tie a knot, but I do, and it's not noticeable. ("Belt AND suspenders, " LOL.)

I also recently learned that we are supposed to cut out any joining knot in the yarn done at the factory (if there are any in the skein), and then work as when attaching a new skein. A rep of Lion Brand yarn said the factory knot may not be strong enough to last, so don't just crochet over it! I didn't know that and would be upset if the blanket came apart later. Hope that helps someone.

I am a long time knitter. I used to crochet a long time ago so I am a bit intimidated. Your video with the slow progress and showing exactly where to put your stitches was exactly what I needed. Thank you so much. New sub

Someone I know is having their first baby. She always liked my crochet. Think I should crochet her a Baby Blanket. 🙂 They had issues for years having one. She had to go through a lot. So this will be a Miracle baby. This pattern is pretty.

[betsyspielman]

I had been working on another beginner crochet baby blanket and because of frustration regarding the YouTube tutorial quit and tried this one. The slow explanation and pointing to the correct stitch was so helpful. I'm almost done and appreciate this channel.

[aliceguinot]

Thank you so much for this blanket pattern ! Your directions are so easy to follow ! I started a blanket last week and the design is so beautiful. I have a lot of leftover yarn to use up and will be starting more. I am 77 and haven't crocheted in many years. You really encouraged me to get back to my crochet hook.

[maitchka]

This was my first crochet project! I used a cream colored baby yarn and I’m in love. I learned not to stress about counting the rows and just gauge by how big I wanted to make it as I went. I had such a good time making this… lots of crocheting while watching the world cup <3

[snailmailstudio]

I just finished my first baby blanket using this tutorial. Thank you so much! I loved stitching this. It's easy to do and easy to keep track of where you are in the pattern which is something I have trouble with. I'm going to keep this on file and make regular blankets and shawls from it too.💕

[HaylieSawyers]

Took me a couple weeks because I’m a busy mom, but I finally finished this today!!! I made it for my baby girl that we are expecting. I did a white base and pink border. Turned out absolutely beautiful! This is the best and easiest tutorial I’ve ever followed. You described everything PERFECTLY! Thank you so much!!! ❤

[janetmoss]

What an amazing Chanel and teacher every single step of the way taught in such a manner anyone could follow . I am literally a beginner and listening and following your instructions I found so easy, plus your calming voice put me at ease .
I hope I can manage to complete this task as my new Grandson is arriving early November . Thank you so much
