Written Instructions for Easy Crochet Baby Blanket
- Using the Bernat Baby Blanket Yarn, make a slip knot. Tighten around the hook.
- Chain (Ch) 42 chains (approx. 27 inches using the 10mm, N hook) Be sure to not pull your yarn too tight around your hook or it will be difficult to work the stitches in the foundation chain.
TIP: Using a larger crochet hook in the foundation chain can help to create larger stitches which may be easier to work with.
** Remember to not pull too tight or your chain will become too tight to work into.
- Rows 2 – Skip 4 chains and place 2 Double Crochet (dc) (v-stitch) in the 4th chain from hook
- Skip a chain and place a v-stitch 2 DC in the stitch.

- Skip a stitch and continue the original pattern (step 5).
- Repeat steps 4-7 until you achieve the desired length.
- Optional: A border can be placed around the blanket by completing a single stitch around the perimeter of blanket.

The blanket measure 27x 30 without the border . By adding one round of sc the blanket then becomes 31x 34. So that one round of sc is adding 2 inches to every side ? The sc is not that wide?
Hello, I should have stated the approx. size of the baby blanket. Since this was a gift unfortunately I’m not able to remeasure the final product but you are correct a single crochet stitch is probably about an inch or so. The border probably added about 1 inch to each side of the blanket. The final measurement was probably more like 29″x 32″ with the border. Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment.
