Hi everyone! Today I’m sharing with you my newest crochet pattern, the Crochet Baby Burp Cloth. This burp cloth is made using one of my favorite stitches, the sedge stitch. It’s a one-row repeat, which makes it beginner-friendly and quick to make.
For the Crochet Baby Burp Cloth, I chose two different cotton yarns. One of the yarns is Caron Cotton Ripple Cakes, which is a #3 lightweight 100% cotton yarn. The other yarn I used is Caron Cotton Angel Cakes, which is a #4 worsted weight 60% cotton, 40% acrylic yarn. Both turned out great!
However, you can use any lightweight #3 yarn you’d like. You can even use a worsted weight #4 if you so choose. Experiment with using all cotton yarn or a cotton blend yarn to see which you prefer. I also used a size H-8 crochet hook. My favorite crochet hooks to use are the Clover Amour. You will also need a pair of scissors and a tapestry needle. Gather your supplies and let’s begin!
Crochet Baby Burp Cloth
Materials:
- 1 cake of Caron Cotton Ripple Cake or Caron Cotton Angel Cake
- H-8 crochet hook
- Tapestry needle
- Scissors
Size:
10 wide x 20 long
Notes:
- To change the width of this burp cloth, you will chain in a multiple of 3.
- The chain 1 at the beginning of each row counts as your first single crochet.
- You can get at least two burp cloths out of one cake of yarn depending on how big you make them.

Crochet Baby Burp Cloth Pattern:
CH 42
Row 1: Working in the 3rd CH from hook, make a HDC and DC into the same stitch. *Skip 2 CHS and make a SC, HDC, and DC all into the next stitch. Repeat from * until you have 3 CHS left. Skip 2 CHS and make a SC into the last CH. CH 1 and turn.
Row 2: Make a HDC and DC into the very first stitch (the CH 1 will count as your SC). Next, *skip 2 stitches (HDC and DC from previous row) and make a SC, HDC, and DC into the next stitch (SC from previous row). Repeat from * until you have 3 stitches left. You will skip 2 stitches and make a SC into the turning chain. CH 1 and turn.
Repeat Row 2 until the burp cloth measures 20 inches or your desired length. For me, this ended up being 60 rows. However, this might be different for you. CH 1 and continue to border.
