Learn more below about the yarn, stitches and sizes you can make the Finely baby blanket in! Enjoy!

The Yarn

I knew I wanted a soft yarn to be used for this baby design. Since this blanket is going to be next to babies skin the yarn needed to be cozy. Immediately Heartland Yarn from Lion Brand came to mind! It is a velvety 100% acrylic yarn with drape which is perfect for blankets.

Plus, it is machine washable and dryable which is perfect for blankets that will more than likely need to be washed frequently.

The Stitches

This blanket uses only two simple beginner-friendly crochet stitches. You will need to know how to single crochet and double crochet. That’s it!

The pattern is worked in a simple repeat of one row of single crochets and then a row of alternating half double crochets and single crochets. The hdc and sc combination create a texture and unique look that looks way more complicated than it is!

If you’d like a refresher take a peek at the links below that have tutorials and vidoes for both stitches.

  • Single Crochet (sc):
  • Half Double Crochet (hdc): Written
  • Half Double Crochet: Video

Once you feel confident about the stitches then you can start on the free patterns below!

    Beautiful blanket! Think this would work with a chunky #5 yarn? I have this beautiful yarn I’m itching to use.

      That would be beautiful! It would turn out a little bigger, but the pattern would still look lovely with it.

    I’m an intermediate crocheter and love all your patterns. Crochet doesn’t have to be difficult to be beautiful.
