Crochet Green Baby Blanket, free pattern

Another baby blanket is ready!

I borrowed the Teddy Bear and small chair for the pictures from my youngest son. Too bad he is too old (he’s 2 years old now) to be wrapped in this darling baby afghan.  

I tried to do my best to write the pattern, but mistakes and typos are possible. I didn’t have anyone proof-read or test the pattern. If something doesn’t make sense, don’t hesitate to ask in the comments or in an e-mail.

I would rate the skill level for this blanket as advanced. In this pattern I used 2-dc clusters (two unfinished dc made in same space, then finished together) as well as 2dctog (two unfinished dc made in two different spaces, then finished together). The ends of rows are somewhat challenging too. 

In case you would like to use this stitch pattern for another project, it’s a multiple of 6, plus 2.  

This pattern is my original design. It cannot be posted on other sites or distributed in any other form.

Finished Size: approximately 38 inch (96.5 cm) square

Snuggly Wuggly Big by Loops and Threads, 1 ball (1263 yards/1154 m)

US hook G/6

Ch 128 loosely.

Row 1: sc in 2^nd ch from hook, *ch 1, skip 2 ch, (dc2-tog, ch 1, dc2-tog, ch 1, dc2-tog) all in next ch, ch 1, skip next 2 ch, sc in next ch* across. Ch 3, turn.

Note: After you make (dc2-tog, ch 1, dc2-tog, ch 1, dc2-tog) all in one ch, the next ch may become very small and hardly visible. So make sure you are skipping 2 ch and not 3!

When Row 1 is finished you must have 18 pattern repeats!

Row 2: dc in next ch-1 space, *ch 1, sc in next ch-1 space, ch 3, sc in next ch-1 space, ch 1, dc2-tog over next two ch-1 spaces* across; end with ch 1, dc2-tog over next ch-1 space and last sc. Ch 2, turn.

Row 3: (dc, ch 1, dc2-tog) all in same beginning space, *ch 1, sc in next ch-3 space, ch 1, (dc2-tog, ch 1, dc2-tog, ch 1, dc2-tog) all in next dc2-tog* across; end with ch 1, (dc2-tog, ch 1, dc2-tog) all in space between last 2 dc. Ch 1, turn.

Row 4: sc in first stitch, *sc in next ch-1 space, ch 1, dc2-tog over next two ch-1 spaces, ch 1, sc in next ch-1 space, ch 3* across; end with sc in next ch-1 space, sc in last dc. Ch 1, turn.

Row 5: sc in same beginning space, *ch 1, (dc2-tog, ch 1, dc2-tog, ch 1, dc2-tog) all in next dc2-tog, ch 1, sc in next ch-3 space* across; end with sc in last sc. Ch 3, turn.

Repeat Row 2 – Row 5 until you have made 84 rows in total. You must end with Row 4.

Trim

First Round:

Working in last row: hdc in same beginning space, ch 1, skip next sc, *hdc in next dc2-tog, ch 1, hdc in next ch-1 space, ch 1, hdc in next ch-3 space, ch 1, hdc in next ch-1 space, ch 1* across; end with {ch 1, hdc} 3 times in corner space.

Working in end of rows: *ch 1, hdc* in each end of row across; {ch 1, hdc} 3 times in corner space.

Working in original chain: *ch 1, hdc in next ch-space, ch 1, hdc in space where clusters were made, ch 1, hdc in next space where sc was made* across; {ch 1, hdc } 3 times in corner space.

Working in end of rows: *ch 1, hdc* in each end of row across; {ch 1, hdc} 2 times in corner space, ch 1, sl st to join round.

Second Round:

Ch 3, *dc in next ch-1 space, dc in next hdc* around, making 3 dc in each corner.

Fasten off.
