My friends have just had baby Boys! and I was looking for a nice crochet baby blanket pattern and a matching crochet hat set. 

To make as a gift, I found lots of beautiful girly ones, but I struggled to find much baby boy crochet blanket patterns. I wanted to make sure that it was cozy but also looked modern for them. 

I love how easily this stitch works up using an easy crochet stitch, combinations of  (SKIP 1 single crochet, 2 single crochet in next sc)  All worked into the SAME space. and repeated. 

This crochet blanket stitch gives a nice cozy texture to the baby blanket. 

For this Baby Blanket, I used a wool blended Aran weight, with a cotton mix,. I was given the wool so I am unsure of its actual make. 

 If you are using lighter wool make sure you follow the size guidelines. And I would recommend lining it, with cozy fleece.

I used a very soft cotton wool mix blend Aran (worsted weight)- 

And a 4.00mm hook - 

The gauge on a blanket with this pattern stitch is not so important. I prefer to go by measurements. I have made a few baby blankets and either they were too big or too small. So I always ASK what size the customer would want their blanke tot be (BEFORE ADDING the border) 

If you have not been given measurements then a good rule of thumb for making a pram cover or blanket is

Recommended Baby Pram cover or Blanket sizeThe finished Baby Blanket - W75cm x L100cm - 30 inches x 39 inches.

I love making baby blankets, the wool we have to choose from is unbelievable, I have several books by my side when I am crocheting like the

 
The Complete Book of Crochet Stitch Designs: 500 Classic and Original Patterns. I have made some beautiful pieces using some of these easy-to-follow stitches. 

I also sit at night time and can make up a crochet square of the stitch using scrap yarn, once I have a few of them I stitch them together and donate to the local elderly Folk's home. where they love getting these simple lapghans.

One of my favorite baby blanket patterns is This Pattern HERE . I can finish it off in so many ways with decorative crochet borders, ribbons, and embellishments
