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.
