Crochet Baby Blanket Pattern
Crochet 88 chain stitches using the color Peach (042). If you want to make a larger or smaller blanket, you can crochet a multiple of 2 + 2 chain stitches.
Row 1: Insert the Crochet Hook into the 3rd chain stitch from the hook and work *1 single crochet, 1 chain stitch, 1 single crochet in the same stitch, skip 1 stitch*. Now repeat *-* until the end of the row. You now have 1 stitch left; work 1 single crochet into it. Chain 1 and turn the work.
Row 2: Crochet into the chain stitch space between the two single crochets from the previous row *1 single crochet, 1 chain stitch, 1 single crochet*. Make sure to insert the hook exactly between the two single crochets on both the front and back sides. This will ensure that the stitches line up neatly on top of each other on both sides of the work. Now repeat *-* in each chain stitch space between the two single crochets from the previous round. Crochet 1 single crochet into the turning chain stitch from the previous round. Crochet 1 turning chain stitch and turn the work.
Repeat Row 2 for the rest of the blanket. With this blanket, you can crochet about 19 rows with 1 ball of yarn. Make the following color changes:
Row 20: Continue with the color Peony Pink (038).
Row 39: Continue with the color Cream (002).
Row 58: Continue with the color Mustard (015).
Row 77: Continue with the Larimar color (062).
Row 96: Continue with the color Denim (061).
After row 115, fasten off all the ends and block the blanket if necessary.
