Two-color Block Stitch Baby Blanket (crochet)
Size: approx. 21” x 28”, but can be
worked wider or longer as desired
Materials:
4 to 6 oz. worsted wt. yarn in Color A
4 to 6 oz. worsted wt. yarn in Color B
Size I hook
Tapestry needle for weaving in tails
Gauge: 3 dc = 1” with worsted wt. on
size H hook
Notes: You can make this blanket
wider by chaining a longer foundation chain, then work across for as many chains
as needed to complete the repeat of pattern, leaving excess chains to trim off
later when they are no longer needed.
Make blanket longer by working to desired length (a wider or
longer blanket will require more yarn)
Color pattern: Pattern is worked in
2 rows Col A followed by 2 rows Col B. Do not cut yarn, but carry colors
loosely up side of work until needed again.
Multicolor option: Use up your scrap
yarns and change colors at the end of any row!
