Materials
- 6 Balls of Soft Baby Yarn - Medium (4) Weight (Imperial: 12oz or 340g each, Metric: approx. 500 yards or 460 meters each)
- Crochet Hooks: Size G-6 (US), 8 (UK Old), 4mm (Metric)
- Knitting Needles: Size 6 (US), 8 (UK Old), 4mm (Metric)
- Darning Needle
- Sharp Scissors
Instructions
- Using your G-6/8/4mm crochet hook and your chosen baby yarn, start with a chain of 142 sts.
- In the second chain from the hook, start your repeat pattern: single crochet (sc), half-double crochet (hdc), double crochet (dc). *Skip next two chains, in the next chain, perform: sc, hdc, dc. Repeat from * to the end of row before ending with one hdc in the last chain.
- Turn work and chain 1. Repeat the pattern of step 2 in-between the stitches (the ‘valley’ between the stitches) of the previous row rather than the chains.
- Repeat step 3 until you have reached your desired length or until you have nearly used up your yarn, leaving enough to bind off and weave in ends.
- Use your size 6/8/4mm knitting needles and remaining yarn to create a ribbed border. Pick up stitches along the edge of the crochet blanket and knit in a K2, P2 ribbing pattern until the border is your desired width.
- Bind off. Use darning needle and remaining yarn to weave in any ends.
