How to crochet the blanket stitch

This blanket is designed to be a small baby blanket or lap throw, which makes it the perfect go-to project to use up extra yarn. I had a lot of leftover yarn (which I am willing to bet you do too!) from past projects, so I decided to use all different brands to create a fun, unique baby blanket. Learn more about the yarn below.

The Yarn

For this blanket, I mostly used Red Heart Soft Yarn. Red Heart Soft is a worsted weight four yarn and is amazingly soft as the name suggests. I also used a few different colors of Caron Simply Soft.

If you wanted to get a similar look, I’d suggest these two yarns. It has a beautiful almost shiny look to it which makes the blanket look even better in my opinion. You’ll love it! Promise.

If you don’t have that yarn handy, any worsted weight yarns such as Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice or Caron Simply Soft will work just as well.

      Hi Jana,

      I have a chart that shows all the different blanket sizes. https://easycrochet.com/blanket-sizes-chart/

      While I do not know the exact amount of chains this may help.

    I must be the only one who is having a problem with this super easy pattern. My question is at the end of row 2 (after the first time you’ve done row 2), where exactly does the single crochet go? Thank you.

      Hi Leslie,

      The single crochet at the end of the row goes into the top of the last turning chain of the chain two from the row before.

    I enjoyed this pattern. The 1 row repeat made it easy for me to set it down and pick back up again around my schedule and not stress. I used worsted weight yarn, so it took me some time, more than others have reported. But this is my first throw sized blanket that I finished, I think in ever. Thank you!

    Did you do 4 skeins of each color? I’m going to try it in super bulky with larger hook so I’m trying to gauge how many skiens..

    Hi Krista, About how many yards of yarn would this be in total? I am thinking of making it using just 2 colours and not sure how much I will need. Happy new year from Australia!

      Hi Shannon!
      Opps! I forgot to include that part when I wrote the pattern! 🙂 I believe I did 6 rows of each color though. I am so glad you like the pattern! Have fun making it! 🙂

    This works up fast and lovely, but with a 66ch foundation chain is only 14.5 inches wide for me. It will be a doll blanket! 🙂

      Hi Cindi,

      You could easily adjust the width and length if you choose. Just make sure to chain a multiple of 3 to start.
