Double Crochet and Cross Stitch Baby Blanket

The cross stitch gives this crochet baby blanket a pretty design. It’s mindless to work on, and is perfect for both baby boys and girls.

I love the solid color with the cross stitch, but I can also see this in a pretty striped design. You could work it up in blocks by working the stitch pattern rows several times before changing colors. Or, you could assign a different color to each stitch where the single crochets are worked in CA, the double crochets in CB and the cross stitches in CC. Either way, I’m sure you will love your new blanket.

It’s a fairly solid blanket, making this great for the cold winter months. Or, you could also use this as a floor blanket throughout the year. Another option would be to increase the length and use it as a crib blanket.

The Stitch Pattern

The stitch pattern is very simple with the single crochet, double crochet and the double crochet cross stitch.

It’s an easy stitch pattern for those who have mastered the basic stitches and are ready to learn the cross stitch.

Sizing

The finished size is 37 inches square. But in a multiple of 2+1 for your starting chains you can easily crochet this to any size you want.

Here is a blanket sizing chart to use as a reference.

The Yarn

I used Bernat Baby Sport. It’s a medium #3 weight baby yarn. It’s perfect for the baby blanket. But if you want to make a lapghan or a throw, you could basically choose any kind of yarn that you like.

Bernat Super Value and Red Heart Super Saver are two economic yarns that work very well in blankets. They are easy to wash and last a long time!
