I really like to make lots of baby items and blankets seem to always be something that I tend to enjoy making when I learn a new stitch. Especially when I buy a new yarn in a pretty color and want to learn a new stitch, baby blanket crochet pattern it is!
If you want to check out some of my other baby crochet patterns, you can find them HERE
For this baby blanket I learned a new stitch called the ‘Waffle Stitch.’ (I have a complete written & video tutorial for it HERE) It was funny because as I was working on this particular piece, my mom looked at it and said that the texture looked just like a waffle (she didn’t know that was the name of the stitch.) So, the name fits the look exactly!
I also used a different border for this blanket called the ‘Crab Stitch Border.’ (I have a written & video tutorial for this stitch HERE)
I love how the crab stitch border gives the edges a twisted, rounded look. it’s simple but so pretty!
About the Yarn
I chose to use Hobby Lobby’s Yarn Bee Sugarwheel in the color Mango Puff. I loved how the bright blue went with the bright mango color! It just pops and the grey helps to tie all the colors together.
I only used 2 skeins of this particular yarn and my blanket measures 24” x 24” You could easily add as many skeins as you would like to make a larger blanket.
I absolutely loved how the colors worked up in the blanket!
Such fun and bright colors!

Border –
To start, slip stitch your border color of yarn anywhere around the edge of your project.
Now, you will work a single crochet stitch in each stitch BUT you will go in reverse (to the right) instead of to the left.
By simply working a single crochet in each stitch, it will create this rolled texture
Just work a single crochet in each stitch around and slip stitch into the the beginning chain stitch once you reach the beginning where you started
Weave in all ends!
