The Hudson Free Crochet Baby Blanket Pattern
Materials Needed:
Pattern:
Then stitch around the entire outside edge of the blanket with double crochet stitches (one in each sc stitch), adding 3 DC in each corner to make them turn nicely. Repeat a second time.
Slip stitch the last stitch off, and cut the yarn, leaving about a six inch tail. Weave in loose ends and you’re done!
My blanket recipient seemed pretty happy with how it turned out.
Comments & Reviews
Hi Love the blanket and would like a clarification on the border.
What do you mean by “The sides will turn out best if you put two single crochet stitches per row.”?
Do you mean crochet 2 rows of sc, then next stitch around with dc for 2 rows??
Thanks
When you crochet along the top, it’s easy to put one SC stitch into each stitch. It’s when you go down the sides of the blanket that it’s tricky to get the spacing right since you’re going into the side of the stitches instead of the same direction. I found that two vertical stitches into each horizontal row gave the most even spacing.
Hopefully that clarifies it a bit for you!
What are the dimensions of the blanket?
I’m so sorry. I don’t actually remember the finished size, but I can tell you it was a very standard baby blanket size.
Would this pattern be suitable for a lapgham?
Yes!
