Simple Crochet Baby Blanket
This blanket is just a traditional granny square. You can find all the details for how I make mine here. It’s my most popular post so be sure to head over and check it out. It’s the same blanket using different yarn colors.I also get asked what colors I use. This particular blanket is all Lily Sugar ‘n’ Cream yarn. I used robin’s egg blue, red, mustard, and white. Mustard is getting more and more difficult to find, but I actually found it in the huge skeins at Joann’s not too long ago.
I also really like this tiny scallop border. It’s especially nice for baby girls. For this edging, you’ll join your contrasting yarn in any hdc, then you’ll ch 2 and hdc in the same stitch. *Skip 2 stitches, ch 2, hdc in the same stitch* all the way around.If you don’t crochet, but you love the blankets, they’re available here in my Etsy shop.

I love your little scallop edging! Definitely saving that to add to some of my future projects. You're absolutely right about the mustard color yarn too. I've looked at all the stores in my area and can't find any! Thank goodness for online shopping.

Thank you so much for the advice on the changes you make to the pattern. My granny squares never look quite right and I'm never quite sure why. now I know. thanks so much for the advice.

I'd love to know how many rounds you used for the first color in this pattern.
Vicky says
Love the blanket & the borders! I think there's a small error in the pattern for the tiny scallop border though. It should read *Skip 2 stitches, sl st, ch 2, hdc in the same stitch.* :)Thanks for providing these! They're just what I'm looking for!
Mel says
Ooh thanks for the edit, Vicky! I was wondering where I was going wrong 🙂
Lauren says
It is PERFECT for doll blankets! 🙂 Glad you loved it.
