Hi everyone! Today I’m sharing my newest crochet pattern, the Cozy Cuddles Baby Blanket. This super soft, handmade baby blanket is made using beginner stitches with a cute mini shell border. It is the perfect baby afghan for a newborn baby and would also be an excellent baby shower gift that would be treasured for years to come.

For the Cozy Cuddles Baby Blanket, I used Premier Anti-Pilling DK. However, you can use whatever #3 light-weight yarn you’d like. I also used a size I-9 (5.5mm) crochet hook. I highly recommend using my favorite crochet hooks, Clover Amour. You will also need a tapestry needle and a pair of scissors. Gather your supplies and let’s begin!

Cozy Cuddles Baby Blanket

Materials:

• (3) skeins of Premier Anti-Pilling DK in Cappuccino
• (2) skeins Premier Anti-Pilling DK of Cream
• I-9 (5.5mm) crochet hook
• Tapestry needle
• Scissors

Size:

29×31

Notes:

• This blanket is worked in a multiple of 3 plus 2. This means you will multiply any number by 3 to get your desired width. Once satisfied, you will add 2 chains to the very end.
• Chain stitches never count as a stitch.
• Whenever you see parenthesis, you will follow the instructions inside the parenthesis into the stitch indicated.

Cozy Cuddles Baby Blanket Pattern:

CH 116 with Cappuccino

Row 1: SC in the 2nd CH from the hook and in each stitch across. CH 1 and turn.

Row 2: (SC, 2 DC) into the first stitch, *skip 2 stitches, (SC, 2 DC) in next stitch. Repeat from * across until you have 3 stitches remaining, skip 2 stitches, and SC in the last stitch. CH 1 and turn.

Rows 3-90: DC 5 into each CH-3 space made, skipping over all SC stitches, DC in the last SC of the row. CH 1 and turn. Your blanket should be about 28″ high before making the border.

Color Sequence

10 rows Cappuccino, 6 rows Cream (repeat 5 times)

You will end the blanket with 10 rows of Cappuccino, so your blanket starts and ends with the same color. Do not fasten off after the final row.

Border

Round 1: SC evenly in each stitch around, making 3 SC in each corner, SL ST to beginning SC. CH 1, do not turn.

Round 2: Repeat Round 1. Fasten off and change to Cream. CH 1 and do not turn.

Round 3: SC evenly in each stitch around, making 3 SC in each corner, SL ST to beginning SC. CH 1 and do not turn.

Round 4: Shell in first stitch (shell is 5 DC), *skip 1 stitch, SL ST in next stitch, skip 1 stitch, shell in next. Repeat evenly around blanket, SL ST to beginning DC. Fasten off and weave in ends.
