Easy Striped Baby Blanket Crochet Pattern

February 18, 2022 · Rhelena · Leave a Comment

Here is an easy striped baby blanket crochet pattern to make to for both baby boys and baby girls! It works up quick, which makes it ideal as a last-minute baby shower gift idea.

Another bonus is that this blanket is also nice and cozy due to the thick yarn used. It’s also nice and cushiony for on the floor as a nice play blanket.

The Stitch Pattern

The crochet stitch pattern is super easy with only one repeat row! If you can make chains and single crochet into the front loops only, then this baby blanket pattern is ideal for you! By working into the front loops only you get a pretty texture, as well as a nice drape!

It is worked in simple rows with a few stripes along each edge. However, you can easily add more stripes, or work it up in a solid color as well.

I did not add an edging to this blanket, and therefore, I did not carry my yarn up after making color changes. Instead, I fastened it off and wove the ends in along the stiches to keep them invisible.

Finished Size

The finished size measures 34 inches square. But, in a simple multiple of two for the starting chains, you can adjust this to any size that you need. Personally I think this blanket would look super nice on a bed, or as a throw on the couch. Here is a Crochet Blanket Sizes Chart to use as a reference.

The Yarn

I used Bernat Blanket, which is a super bulky weight yarn. It works well with a 9 mm crochet hook. I used the regular yarn, but you can also get this in a baby yarn if you like. The baby yarn has nice variegated color options for both genders.

I worked off of two partial skeins to clean up a few odds and ends.
