I crocheted a baby blanket for my cousin’s new baby last year. I’ve finally gotten around to sharing the pattern with ya! Here it is! I hope you love it!
The finished blanket size measures 38″ x 38″.
Materials:
This pattern uses yarn weight 3 (light). Use your preferred brand of yarns or see below for the exact look from the photos.
- White Yarn: Bernat Baby Coordinates, White (3 balls)
- Purple Ribbon: Celebrate 360, 3/8” Purple Nylon (41⁄2 yards)
- Crochet Hook Size G
Instructions:
Step 1: Make the blanket body.
Chain 139
Row 1: [2dc, ch1, 2dc] in 5th ch from hook. *Skip 3ch, [2dc, ch1, 2dc] in next ch; rep from * to last 2ch, skip 1ch, 1 dc in last ch, turn.
Row 2: Ch3, skip 3dc *[2dc, ch1, 2dc] in ch-1 space, skip next 4dc; rep from * to last 2dc, skip last 2dc. 1dc in last st, turn.
Row 3+: Repeat Row 2 instructions, row after row, until blanket body is an approximate square. (Approximately 36” by 36”)

Step 2: Crochet Edgings
At end of last row, do not tie off. You will now be working around the entire blanket. (Row 1 is all double crochets, which holds the ribbon. Row 2 is all scallops.)
Row 1: Ch 3.
• Side 1: Working down the left side of the blanket, 3 dc into each dc from each row. At the last dc, 5 dc to form a corner.
• Side 2: Working across the bottom of the blanket, 1 dc in each stitch. At the last st, 3 dc to form a corner.
• Side 3: Working up the right side of the blanket, 3 dc into each dc from each row. At the last dc, 5 dc to form a corner.
• Side 4: Working across the top of the blanket, 1 dc in each st. At the last st, 2 extra dc to form corner. Do not tie off. Continue to make scalloped edgings.
Row 2: 1 sc, *Sk 2 sts, 5 dc in next st, sk 2 sts, sl st into next st* Rep all around blanket. For corner scallops, only skip 1 st, instead of 2, then continue normally. Join with sl st to beg sc. Fasten off and weave in ends.
Step 3: Attach Ribbon
Use ribbon size 3/8” in your preferred color. Length is approximately 41⁄2 yards. Ribbon is inserted into Row 1 edgings. Start from one corner, weave in ribbon through every 5th dc all around blanket. Tie a pretty bow where ends meet.
You’re finished! 😊✨

Katie - What is the name of this pattern? I am trying to find ways to add additional patterns or colors to this stitch but I have no idea what to call this to look up how to transition. Thank you!May 28, 2020 – 2:54 pm
Michelle Flynn - Beautiful blanket!January 11, 2020 – 7:17 pm
Harold Crowell - Hi Susie
This pattern is exactly what I am looking for as my first baby blanket project. My granddaughter is expecting her 2nd sometime in Janurary and she asked if I could crochet her a baby blanket. Having crochet several tablecloths over the past 4 years (maybe more) i told her it would “give it a go”. The pattern is much less complicated than some of the tablecloths that I have made both in the round and fillet style. Looking forward to beginning this one. Will let you know how I make out.
Thank you!July 14, 2019 – 8:50 am
Joan - Would this blanket look okay without the ribbon through the double crochet row?February 5, 2019 – 8:06 am
Susie - Yes, the blanket is still cute without the ribbon. But the ribbon does give it that extra cuteness and sweetness!! 🎀February 7, 2019 – 1:02 pm

Sarah - Just finished this gorgeous blanket. Made it in pink using Sirdar Hayfield baby bonus dk. I did use a 1/2 size bigger hook for my foundation chain but only because I can never get the tension right. It took me about 2 weeks doing about hour and a half every night. Thanks for sharing the pattern!August 6, 2017 – 12:53 pm
Susie - Hi Sarah, I know what you mean about the tension in the foundation. Using a bigger hook is such a great idea! Happy you enjoyed the pattern! 😊✨August 8, 2017 – 10:28 pm
