The Yarn That’s Perfect for this Baby Blanket

When the idea first came to me for this blanket, I knew that I wanted to use Lion Brand Heartland Yarn because it is incredibly soft and comes in such beautiful earthy colors.

I have used it to design some items in the past, like my Half & Half Boot Cuffs and Here is Autumn Hat, so I knew this yarn would be the perfect fit for a cozy baby blanket!

Fiber: 100% Acrylic
Yardage: 251yd / 230m (200yd / 183m in prints)

The Stitches for the Pebble Blanket

When I was designing this blanket, I used only single crochets and half double crochets! That’s it!

Half Double Crochet

The half double crochets are worked a little differently than you may be used to, but that is what gives this blanket the Stoney pebble-like look. I will explain how to work these special half double crochets up in the abbreviation section below.

To finish up this fun blanket, I did one row of single crochet’s along the border to give it a clean finished look. Wallah! A finished baby blanket!

Let’s get Started!

I hope you enjoy this design, and keep in mind that this blanket would be cute either as a baby girl crochet blanket or a baby boy crochet blanket.

Happy Crochet Baby Blanket making!
