Hello Friends...some of you may remember last srping I was working on a blanket for my new little niece or nephew to be. As promised, I've finally gotten around to completing the pattern for the baby blanket. It's a fairly simple and quick project as the blanket is stoller/crib sized. Although it can easily be modified to whatever size you like.
New: Video Tutorial now available!

Required Materials:
Required Crochet Stitches:
chain (ch), single crochet (sc), half double crochet (hdc), double crochet (dc)
Note: All terms are U.S.
*A note about gauge: This pattern can easily be adapted to any size you wish. If you prefer a larger blanket, simply chain a multiple of 3 + 2 sts. Measure to desired width and add multiple rows for desired length. The following pattern should make your finished blanket approx. 21`` x 26``, which is a good size for a stroller or car seat.
Main Blanket:
ch 62,
Foundation Row - In 2nd ch from hook, work 1 sc into each ch across (61 sts.)
Row 1 - ch 2, in first sc (1 sc, 1 hdc, 1, dc), skip next 2 sts, *(1 sc 1 hdc, 1 dc) in next st, skip next 2 sts, repeat from * across, ending with a sc in last st, turn.
Row 2 - ch 2, in first sc (1 sc, 1 hdc, 1, dc), *skip next 2 sts, (1 sc, 1 hdc, 1 dc) in next sc, repeat from * ending with 1 sc in top of turning ch, turn. You should have 20 little sc, hdc, dc groups. Tip: You are always making your group in the sc stitch from the previous row.
Repeat row 2 until your piece measures appox. 22”, or until desired length is reached.
Note: your last row of repeating row 2 should be done on the wrong side. Turn.
Final Row - Ch 1, and sc in each st. across (60 sts). Do not fasten off.
Note: This final row should have the right side of the blanket facing you.
