Aqua Baby Blanket
I like this blanket ~ it lies flat and doesn't curl so there is no need for an edging.
Although for a girl ~ a pretty scalloped edging would look cute.
The pattern is available as a free Ravelry download
I made my blanket with a single strand of DK
...... so I started with an initial chain of 95 stitches
After the foundation row - all following rows are the same - so it doesn't require a lot of concentration.
I found I could happily watch TV at the same time so this blanket seemed to grow fairly quickly

My blanket measures 70cm x 70cm
It's lovely Marianna, I love the colour Iv'e used that pattern too and it's lovely to make, it's always my first choice when someone asks me to make them a baby blanket. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda. I think if it was made in 2 x 4ply, or in aran, it would be too heavy for a tiny baby - but in DK I think it is great - and I too will certainly make it again.
DeleteBeautiful baby blanket - the colour and the pattern look great.

That stitch looks lovely! It gives the blanket a wonderful texture...and aqua is one of my favorite colors ;-)
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog when I was looking at Loving Hands. Lovely crochet work. I'm more a knitter but always on the lookout for easy crochet patterns.
ReplyDeleteLoving Hands is a great source for patterns as you have already found out - and it is also very inspirational. Lots of talented crafters who make a huge contribution to charity giving. Glad you found my blog.
