Clustered V-St Crochet Preemie Blanket Pattern

December 18, 2020 · Rhelena · Leave a Comment

This crochet preemie blanket pattern is worked up in two colors to bring about a pretty design. The two colors fall into neat columns of color to keep your baby happy and entertained.

A preemie blanket crocheted up in a cluster v-stitch pattern using two colors to bring about columns of color.

I had two balls of yarn left over from a couple of other baby projects and decided to use them up here. I love how it turned out with two colors, but the stitch pattern also looks great in a single color. Or, choose a number of cheerful colors if you want. Babies love color, so this makes the perfect pattern to use up leftover yarns for them.

Best of all, it’s a mindless pattern for times when you need to think or just relax in front of the TV. The only downfall is that you’re fastening off after each row, leaving a lot of loose ends to weave in. But I’d say it’s worth it, what do you think?

The Size

The baby blanket pattern only measures 20 inches square, but it can be adjusted to any size you need in a multiple of 6 plus 2. And you can also use any yarn and hook size suitable for the yarn. Use this blanket size chart as a reference.

As is, this also makes for a great doll blanket for the larger dolls.

Recommended Yarn

Since you’re making this for a baby, a soft baby weight yarn is recommended. I used Bernat Baby Sport, but anything similar will work just as well. A few alternative yarns that come to mind are Lion Brand Ice Cream and Snuggly Wuggly Big! by Loops and Threads.
