Fan Stitch Baby Blanket

May 29, 2015 · Rhelena · 6 Comments

This fan stitch baby blanket has a gorgeous texture to it on both sides of the fabric. The fans curl a bit creating a small bump at the back, while creating a lovely texture at the front as well. The bumps at the back remind me of white puffy clouds floating in the sky.

The finished size measures about 31.5″ square. It’s the perfect blanket for a newborn boy or girl. Crochet it in a single color as shown, or go for some pretty stripes.

For some reason I had problems with the edging. The first time around I crocheted it using the same hook as I had used for the blanket, but it ruffled a bit. I figured a smaller hook might work, but it still didn’t lay flat. My next possible solution? I blocked it. Call me a cheater, but it worked. Hope you enjoy.

    Lovely pattern, but you neglected to mention how much – yardage/meterage – yarn is necessary.

    Thank you.

      Sorry about that. I worked off one of the big balls that come in 14oz, and had a small amount left over.
