Heirloom Baby Blanket Crochet Pattern

May 6, 2017

Heirloom Baby Blanket Crochet Pattern

I received the most gorgeous dk weight yarn, Cascade Cherub DK,  with the intention of making a light weight springtime pattern to share with all of you.  I was going to make a throw, but soon realized that the diagonal cluster stitch that I chose, in combination with this yarn, made a delicate lace fabric that would be perfect for an heirloom crochet baby blanket pattern. You could, of course, choose to make a throw for yourself, and increase the foundation chain to make a larger version!

Since it’s almost always easier to learn something by watching it done, I created a video for you guys! In this video tutorial, I demonstrate the steps to crocheting the diagonal cluster stitch, which is used to make The Heirloom Crochet Baby Blanket. You can find the video on the Leelee Knits YouTube channel, as well as below on this page with the written pattern.

Video Demo:

Note: This pattern uses the Diagonal Cluster stitch.  For all of you visual learners out there, I have created a video tutorial on this stitch:

Diagonal Cluster Stitch

Chain 153 (or a multiple of 5 + 3 for a different width).
Row 1: CL in 6th chain from hook, *CH1, skip next two chains, DC in next chain; working in front of last dc made, DC in 2nd skipped chain, CH1, skip next chain, CL in next chain; repeat from * to last two chains, CH1, skip next chain, DC in last chain; CH4, turn.

Row 2:  Skip first ch1 space, DC in next ch1 space; working in front of last dc made, DC in skipped ch1 space; *CH1, CL in space between next 2 dc, CH1, skip next ch1 space, DC in next ch1 space; working in front of last dc made, DC in skipped ch1 space; repeat from * to end of row, CH1, DC in 3rd chain of turning chain; CH4, turn.

Row 3:  CL in space between next 2 dc, CH1; *skip next ch1 space, DC in next ch1 space; working in front of last dc made, DC in skipped ch1 space; CH1, CL in space between next two dc, CH1; repeat from * to end of row, DC in 3rd chain of turning chain; CH4, turn.

Repeat rows 2 and 3 until your work measures 40 inches and continue on to border.

Border:

Round 1:  Work around the border of the blanket evenly in single crochet.  Make sure that you do 3 SC in each corner of the border.  I found an excellent article explaining how to work a single crochet border in detail.  When you have completed one round, join to first SC with a slip stitch.

Round 2: CH 2, work around the border by doing one HDC in each SC (work 3 HDC in each corner sc).  At the end of the round, join to first HDC with a slip stitch.

Round 3: CH2, work around the border again by doing one HDC in each HDC (Work 3 HDC in each corner hdc).  At the end of the round, join to first HDC with a slip stitch.

Fasten off and weave in all loose ends.

    Hello! I am making this blanket and started on the border. You mentioned to make sure 3sc on corners but my question is. How many sc on the sides like by line? Row? Do you have a number? 2, I hope you can see this soon I am working on it.

    I have a quick question. All tutorials I see, the yarn looks very, idk stringy? (VERY new to crocheting). I copied the video and mine looks a lot closer together. I’m going to try to order the exact same yarn you used so I can see if it turns out the same. I have the softee baby yarn.

      Yes the type of yarn used can make a huge difference Ashley. Also, how tightly you crochet… so if you think your work looks to tight you can go up hook size too. Hope that helps!

        Thank you! I have noticed I crochet a little tight. I’ll try going up a hook size as well as getting the same kind of yarn as you have! I never realized dk weight yarn would be different!

          Yes, I have found some surprising variations in what is called dk or even worsted weight based on the company that makes the yarn. Good luck with the pattern – it a really fun one!

    I made this blanket for my first great grandson who was born Oct. 28, 2017, and it turned out so awesome! I used the recommended yarn. It turned out so very soft and beautiful. Now I will be making one for my first great granddaughter who is due in January, 2018. Thank you so much for sharing this pattern with us all.
