I designed, and started work
on this baby blanket two days ago, but Life kept interrupting; I just finished it
😊
The stitches are simple, quick, and easy.
Materials: Blue – Super-Size
skein, Bernat Baby Sport yarn; a coule ounces of CC Baby yarn; #G or 6/4¼ Susan
Bates aluminum crochet hook; Scissors, Tapestry Needle
Terms:
ch =
chain
cc =
single crochet
dc =
double crochet
rpt =
repeat
ea =
each
bet =
between
MC =
main color
CC =
contrast color
T =
turn
EO =
end off
With
MC, make a ch of 120 ct; sc ea st across row. Ch 1 - T.
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch
from hook, sc in next ch, *ch 2,
skip next 2 ch, sc in ea of next 2 ch; rpt from * across row: T.
Row
2: Ch
3 (counts as dc), 4 dc in e ach-2 space across to last loop, skip next
sc, dc in last sc: T.
Row 3: Ch 1, sc in first dc,
sc bet first 2 dc, *ch 2, skip next 4 dc, sc bet
last skipped dc and next dc; rpt from * across row – ending with sc bet last 2 sts, sc
in 3rd ch of turning ch: T
Repeat
rows 2 & 3 for pattern to a length of 30”.
Then
sc 120 sts evenly across top edge; ch 1, turn and work another
row of sc across top edge + 1 extra sc in the corner. Work 112 sc evenly along the side + 1 extra sc
in corner … 120 sts across bottom edge + 1 extra sc in corner… and 112 sc
up the other side edge, + 1 extra sc in the corner. EO MC.
You are now ready to add the
trim.
Corded
Edging: With
CC, work a row of sc backward, instead of forward. The stitches cross at
the top and give a nice decorative beaded finish to the blanket. EO and weave
in all ends.
