Natural Girl Simple Baby Blanket in Variegated Yarn



This baby blanket is very simple to make, and someone who knows how to crochet dc, sc, and ch could probably make it without a pattern. 




Despite its plainness, this blanket looks delicate and is very nice to touch. The yarn that I used (Beehive Baby Sport by Patons, Natural Girl) worked very well for this project. For one thing, it’s a blend of acrylic and nylon, which is super soft. In addition to that, the variegated yarn gave this simple pattern a finer look.




Finished size: 33 by 27 inches


Patons’ Beehive Baby Sport, Natural Girl, about 1400 yards


Hook E/4 (though the recommended hook for this yarn is F/5, but I prefer smaller size hooks for tighter and neater looking stitches)


I started with ch 141.


Row 1: dc in 4th ch from hook, dc in each ch across.


Row 2: ch 3, turn, dc in next dc, *ch 1, skip next dc, dc in next dc* across, dc in turning ch.


Row 3: ch 3, turn, dc in next dc, *dc in next ch, dc in next dc* across, dc in turning ch.


Repeat Row 2 – Row 3 until the blanket is about 32 inches long.


Trim is quite simple, it’s only one round of double crochets: 4 dc in corner spaces, and 2 dc in ends of rows.

    This looks lovely! I'm curious to try it for a throw. What would be the number of chains needed for a throw, or if there is a formula for the number of chains? Thanks!

      Hi Tracy, you can use any number of chains that is divisible by two. In other words, it's a multiple of two.
