Simple Crochet Baby Blanket

A Simply Sweet Crochet Blanket Pattern

This simple crochet baby blanket really lives up to its name. The stitch pattern is just a one row repeat, so it’s easy to pick up and keep going, and it creates a beautiful finished blanket you’ll feel good about gifting or keeping for your own little one. You can even make it wider if you’d like and turn it into a cozy throw.

Beginner Friendly, Simple Stitch Pattern

The blanket is worked in a really simple repeat that you’ll pick up quickly after the first couple of rows. The foundation chain is a multiple of 3 plus 1. If you want to make it wider then just keep chaining, making sure you end with a multiple of 3, and then add 1.

Once you’ve completed the foundation chain, you’ll use a combination of double crochets, chains, and single crochets into the same stitch to create a type of shell stitch. After the first row, you’ll be working those same stitches again, but this time into the chain spaces. Every row after Row 1 is just a repeat of Row 2, so you’re repeating the same steps across each row without needing to keep track of much. I love patterns like this when I’m listening to a podcast or audiobook and want to be productive at the same time 😊.

For my blanket, I changed colours every 8 rows to keep it interesting and give it a nice, clean striped look. I’ve included a colour chart for you to follow, but of course, you can mix and match with shades of your own choosing to create a stunning and unique baby blanket every time! I think this blanket would also look perfect with just one solid colour!
