This must be
the 10th or 11th baby blanket that I made this year! I
already lost the count, though I haven’t lost the interest in making/designing
new ones.
The stitch for
this baby afghan looks fancy and intricate, but it’s not that complicated. The
pattern consists of only four repeating rows, which are easy to remember; after
you’ve made a few pattern repeats, you won’t even need the written
instructions.
I think it’s
a cute blanket, though one thing is lacking. If you look carefully at the
picture or read the instructions, you’ll see that this blanket has no trim. I
tried different ones, but simply couldn’t find the one that would work.
My free
pattern is below. You can definetly experiment and try to come up with the edging/trim of your liking.
This pattern is my original design. It cannot be posted on other
sites or distributed in any other form. If you would like to share this
pattern, you can post ONE image on your site with the link to my original post.
You can use this pattern to make items for personal use or for sale. If you
sell finished items from this pattern, you must give design credit to Lacy
Crochet blog (lacycrochet.blogspot.com). Please, respect my work. Thank you!

Hi. Thanks for the pattern! In Row 2 when you say "shell over next shell" what does that mean? Where do I start the shell?
ReplyDeleteyou make it into the ch-1 space between the double crochets
Deletewhat a lovely pattern. I am going to make one and send the feedback.many thanks for sharing such a pretty pattern.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love this pattern! Thank you for sharing!! I added one row of double crochet as a border and I am happy with it. When I do this afghan again I would like it to be a little wider, do you know how many more chains I would need to start with?
ReplyDeleteI love this pattern :-) thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteyou have inspired me to start blogging as I wanted to follow yours! I dont know what mine will be about yet, but this is it so far http://jennystearoom.blogspot.co.uk/ I think my first post might be a link to yours :-)
Hi Jenny, nice to meet you! Wow, I'm glad to know that my blog inspired you to start your own. That's great.
DeleteI'd love to visit your blog, but it seems like it's set up as a private blog, and only invited readers can see it.
I absolutely love this pattern, and thank you for sharing. I was wondering it you have any ideas for what type of border I could add to this
ReplyDeleteHi again Olga! I love this pattern so much and would Love to see more of your patterns. Is there a website or something that I can go to? Or could you e-mail them possibly? I just started crocheting again and would love to learn new patterns :)
ReplyDeleteHi Ashley, thank you for your kind words about my work. This is the only website I have. I post my free patterns here. I also sell some patterns (mostly baby patterns) at Etsy and Craftsy.
ReplyDeleteAs for the border for this blanket, I've seen someone on Ravelry adding a few rounds of sc to this blanket, and a final round of picots. It looked really cute. I tried finding that photo on Ravelry, but unfortunately I couldn't.
Happy New Year! Wish you lots of new crochet projects in 2015!
Did this ,very pleased as to the finish.
DeleteHow would you adapt this pattern to a full size afghan rather than baby? My sister in law has a vintage afghan pattern that she wants to dup and this is as close as I have seen.
ReplyDeleteThis stitch is a multiple of 15, plus 8.
DeleteSimply start with a chain of desired lengths, but make sure it's divisible by 18, plus 8 more chains.
I did as Olga said, and made one for our Queen sized bed! I used the off white as well. We love it!
DeleteThis pattern is an absolute stunner. I've made several. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI have made 3 baby blankets with this pattern and am starting my 4th. I think it might be my favorite pattern of all time. I am also making one for my bed in this pattern. It's a gorgeous pattern. Thank you.
