Make This Baby Blanket by Holding Two Strands Together at Once!

This blanket stitch baby blanket works by holding two strands of yarn together simultaneously. I love using this technique because it makes it work up fast and gives it an extra cozy touch. I also used this technique on this blanket stitch pattern too if you’d like to take a look.

You will be holding the pink and white yarn together for the entire blanket which I will explain more about below.

The Yarn That’s Perfect for a Baby Blanket

I used Lion Brand Baby Soft Yarn in Parfait, which is a 60% acrylic & 40% nylon blend. This yarn is incredibly soft & cozy, which means its perfect for swaddling a baby.

Also, it is available in some pretty fabulous colorways too! You’ll want to check them out the next time you are perusing the yarn aisle!

Do you want to use a different yarn?

If you can’t find the yarn I used you can use any medium weight yarn and get the same results as me. I recommend Red Heart Soft or Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice as good substitutes.

You can find a ton of suggestions for thread online at places such as Amazon, or you take a peek inside your local craft store to find a suitable yarn too.

Beginner Friendly Baby Blanket Crochet Pattern!

You will need only a few materials and basic crochet knowledge to complete this baby blanket pattern, which makes it a perfect beginner-friendly crochet blanket project!

If you can double crochet, single crochet & chain then you are good to go with this pattern. If you were having doubts, please don’t worry because you can do this!

Row 1: Chain 84 holding together 2 skeins of yarn at once.

Row 2: Make 2 double crochets in 3rd chain from hook, skip 2 chains, make 1 single crochet & 2 double crochets in the next chain, *skip 2 chains, 1 single crochet, 2 double crochets in the same chain, repeat from * to the end of the row. Make sure to end with 1 single crochet in the last chain, turn

You Can Make This Blanket in Any Color!

Don’t you love the way the blanket stitch looks? Plus, I love how the Parfait Print color is variegated and hints of pink throughout this baby blanket. What a perfect color for a sweet baby girl! Can you imagine this in soft mint green or pastel blue?

Any color would look perfect for a handmade crochet baby gift since the whole Baby Soft colorway is made just for baby apparel.

      Hi Betty,
      I am not sure why? It may be the yarn you are using or the size crochet hook. It is hard to determine without seeing a picture. You can join the Easy Crochet Facebook group and ask there. They are a great group of people that are always willing to help.

    I love how soft this blanket is! I never knew that this stitch was called the blanket stitch. I’ve used this stitch combination in other projects but didn’t know the name of it.
    Thank you for the pattern. It’s simply lovely.

    If you make a larger blanket, how many chains would you use…say maybe around 104? or what would you recommend. I love this pattern. Its easy and is so beautiful.

      Hi Terry,
      How large would you like the blanket? If you’d like a slighter larger baby blanket a starting chain of 105 (it has to be in a multiple of 3) would be perfect!

      Happy Crocheting!

    Are you always supposed to end a row with one single crochet?

    Can this be made with just a single strand of yarn? And would I use a smaller hook?

    Hi Krista,
    I am doing this blanket (which I love ) in all one color. How do I count the rows? Or is there an easier way to know that I am finished. It is for my 3 pound grandson who just turned 3 weeks today. I am hoping that after I wash it I can get my scent back on it.
    Thank you again for making such beautiful items and sharing your patterns.

      Hi Kim,
      Congratulations on your new grandson! 🙂 Each time you turn your work to start a new row, that counts a row. If I misunderstood the question, please let me know. 🙂

      Hi Janie,

      Yes, you will hold one white and white parfait together for the blanket. 🙂

      Hi Nicole,

      It would be a little thicker with the blanket yarn but you definitely could use it and it would turn out great!

    I love this pattern! I make blankets for my hospital’s preemies with matching hats. This pattern works well when you chain 66 to begin.
    Thank you so much. I love doing new stitches.

    How many skeins of yarn does it take to make this blanket? Is it baby size or really short? Just seems like not enough to me. Thank you!

      4 skeins total of the baby soft yarn which is about 670 yards. 🙂

    Love this pattern and my blanket is almost done. Could you please tell me do you just end off when finished or do you do something at end????? Like a single crochet across last row or just tie off.

      Hi Barb,
      I just fastened it off after the last row but you could add a border of single crochets if you want. 🙂 I am glad you love the pattern! 🙂
