 A FREE CROCHET BLANKET PATTERN

My Uncle, who is disabled, and finds himself needing a little extra layer of warmth at night sitting watching the TV, asked me to crochet him a blanket. 

He wanted one that was warm enough but not heavy so that he could handle it himself.
Many of the shop-bought blankets were very heavy to handle. He wanted a lightweight crochet blanket but still needed to be warm and cozy.

I chose the Granny square pattern as I knew this to be cosy, when made up, yet a nice lightweight stitch that makes a big blanket easy to handle. I do love the Granny Square pattern, it makes up quickly for a blanket but it is not heavy. 

Creating the perfect crochet baby blanket. Just keep on repeating the rounds to make the blanket any size you wish

I used 2 strands of 4py James Brett blue held together as I worked.  However I would also use a baby DK to make this too,

  • BUT you can use any type of yarn to make any size and any thickness you fancy. 
  • Just remember if you go up a size in hook or yarn your blanket will work quicker and be thicker.
  • Choose smaller hooks and thinner yarn your blanket will be smaller and thinner. 


for this blanket, I used a 4.50mm hook

Notes : Ch 3 at the beg of each Rnd counts as dc throughout. 
[ ] = stitch combinations for repeats will appear within these
Ch 4. Join to make a loop with sl, st into the first chain (this is your centre ring)


Rnd 1: work the first ch3 into the ring, (counts as first double crochet) work 2 more dc stitches into the ring, (first set of dcs made) ch 2 (corner), [work 3 dcs, ch2] repeat 2 more times.  join by 1 slip stitch into the top of the starting ch3,
(You will now have 4 corners of 2 ch, and 4 sets of dc.)

Rnd 2: sl, st across the first set of  3 dcs to the corner sp, ch3,( counts as 1st dc), 2 dc in space, ch2 work 3 dc in the same space, [ ch 1, work 3dc in corner space, ch2, 3dc in corner space],  repeat [ ] to last set of previous rnds 3 dcs, ch1, 1 slst in top of ch3, to join

Rnd 3: sl, st across the first set of  3 dcs to the corner sp, ch3 (counts as1st dc), 2dc, ch2, 3dc in corner space, ch1, make 3dcs in previous rnds ch1 space, [ch 1, work 3dc in corner space, ch2, 3dc in corner space, ch1, 3dc in next ch1 space] repeat [ ]  to last set of previous rnds dcs, ch1, 1 slst in top of ch3, to join

Rnd 4: sl, st across the first set of  3 dcs to the corner sp, ch3 (counts as1st dc),  2dc in ch2 space,ch2, 3dcin same space (corner created)

[{ch1, make 3dcs in previous rnds ch1 space,} (repeat x2)
3dc in ch2 space,ch2, 3dcin same space (corner created)]
continue working as established  to last set of previous rnds 3 dcs, ch1, 1 slst in top of ch3, to join

Keep Working in Rnds as established, having (Ch 1. 3 dc) in each previous round ch-1 sp and (3 dc. Ch 2. 3 dc) in each corner ch-2 sp until work from center measures approx. (increasing 1 set of 3dc in each round)
You can carry on as long as you like to make this blanket as big as you wish.
 
You can choose a contrasting color to work these double crochet rounds or continue with the same color.
 
Working evenly around the outside edge of the blanket pick up and work a double crochet into each available stitch along, working (3dc, ch2, 3dc) in each corner.
 
Last Round, make 1 single crochet in each stitch around making 3sc in the ch2 space this stops the corners curling.
