Hi everyone! Today I’m sharing with you my newest crochet pattern, the Suzette Baby Blanket. This blanket is made using the suzette (thicket) stitch. It’s a one-row repeat, which makes it beginner-friendly and quick to make.
For the Suzette Baby Blanket, I chose a self-striping light-weight acrylic yarn. I wanted something that would really show off this stitch definition. I ended up using Caron Skinny Cakes in Buttermints. This blanket is just stunning and is an excellent choice for making a baby blanket!
However, you can use any light-weight #3 yarn you’d like. You can even use a worsted weight #4 or a bulky weight #5 yarn if you so choose. You will just change up the amount of chains you make for the beginning of your project. 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!

Suzette Baby Blanket Pattern:
Chain 110
Row 1: In the 2nd chain from the hook, make a (SC, DC) into the same stitch. *Skip the next stitch and in the stitch after that make a (SC, DC). Repeat from * until you have 2 chains left. Skip a chain and in the final chain, make a SC. Chain 1 and turn.
Row 2: Make a (SC, DC) into the very first stitch. *Skip next stitch (DC from previous row) and work (SC, DC) into the next stitch (SC from previous row). Repeat from * across until you have 2 stitch remaining. Skip one stitch and make a SC in the last stitch. Chain 1 and turn.
Repeat Row 2 until the blanket measures about 30 inches or your desired length. Do not cut yarn. Continue below for the border.
Border:
Chain 2 and turn.
Round 1: Make a HHDC in first stitch and in each stitch across the top of your blanket. In the first corner, make 3 HHDC. You will continue this pattern by making 1 HHDC in each stitch around your blanket and 3 HHDC in each corner. Slip stitch to the beginning HHDC of your round. Chain 2, but do not turn.
Round 2: Make a HHDC in the first stitch and in each stitch around. Be sure to make 3 HHDC in each corner stitch. When you reach the beginning of your round, make a slip stitch to the beginning HHDC. Cut yarn and weave in ends.
