Blossom Baby Blanket Crochet Pattern

April 25, 2015 · Rhelena · 11 Comments

This baby blanket crochet pattern is crocheted up with the blossom stitch. I love this stitch because it gives you a nice appearance on both sides of the fabric. It makes for a lovely baby blanket for little girls, but in the right colors, you could just as easy crochet this up for boys as well. It’s shown here in a solid color, but why not try it in pretty baby stripes or even a rainbow color. Babies love color, so the more you add the happier they will be.

The baby blanket measures about 30″ by 30″, making it perfect for the crib or the stroller. However, you can easily customize this to fit your needs. In a simple multiple of 4+1 you can increase and decrease this in size for a full-sized afghan for yourself, or a doll blanket for your little girl. And it doesn’t have to be square, you can easily continue to do more rows for a nice rectangular baby blanket. Use this blanket size chart as a reference.

It’s got a bit of lace to it, so it’s great for the summer months, especially if you use a cotton yarn. And also, it would make for a lovely baby shower gift at your next baby shower.

As for yarn, the stitch looks great in almost any yarn, so feel free to substitute as you like. And it doesn’t even have to baby yarn either, as long as it’s soft and baby safe, you can use any yarn you want to make this. Just make sure to use a hook size appropriate for the yarn you use.

What I liked best about this pattern is that it allowed for mindless crochet once I got started on it. The blanket is worked in a two-row repeat, so it’s just a matter of remembering which row you are on. I found this to be a great project to work on at night before bed to help me relax for a good night sleep. And for new moms-to-be, I’m sure it would be a great way for them to relax as they await for their new bundle of joy to arrive.

    At first glance, I thought this was just a V-Stitch blanket, but looking closer at the pattern, I can see it’s a variation of it. The V-Stitch is one of my favorite lacy look stitches, especially for Spring/Summer scarves – I will now have to add the Blossom Stitch to my list, and this baby blanket! Pinning.

      Yes, the V is very nice, although I hardly work with it anymore. the blossom is nice too, but you have to pay a bit more attention between the rows. Thanks so much for the pin. :)

    How many skeins of yarn do you think you used?

      I worked off a 14 oz ball, so don’t know how many small skeins you would need.

    My vertical rows seem to go on a slight diagonal. The “blossoms” don’t quite line up in a checkerboard patter, rather they tilt at a very slight angle. Do you think this has something to do with yarn tension? I know I am following the pattern directions properly. Maybe if I block the afghan when I’m done it will get more square? Help! Thanks!

      I can’t remember if it slanted or not… would you mind sending an image of what it is doing to [email protected]. If it’s not too bad, you should be able to block it out, but it’s hard to say.

    Do you have a pattern for a blanket crocheted in the round using the blossom stitch? This blanket is so pretty but sometimes I like to crochet in rounds when using up yarn.
