Hello, Hannah here, with a fun and easy baby blanket that is full of texture! This blanket is a modified re-creation of my Velvet Berries Throw, but I modified the stitches a bit to make the lines and the berries a little more defined. I really loved this Persimmon color of Red Heart Super Saver when I saw it in the store and thought it would look great as a one color baby blanket!

Let’s get straight to the pattern! 

Materials

Red Heart Super Saver (100% acrylic, 198 g/7 oz, 333 meters/364 yards)

3 skeins Persimmon

Size J/6.00mm hook, scissors, tapestry needle

Size

Finished size 30 in x 35 in

Stitches

Half Double Crochet (HDC): Yarn over (YO), insert your hook, YO and pull up a loop, YO and pull through all 3 loops on hook. 

Half Double Slip Stitch (HDSS): YO, insert your hook, YO and pull up a loop and pull directly through two loops on hook. 

Berry Stitch: YO, insert your hook, YO and pull up a loop, YO and pull through one loop. YO, insert your hook into same space, YO and pull up a loop, YO and pull through 5 loops on hook.

Pattern

Chain 96 (or any even number). 

ROW 1: Starting in the 3rd chain from the hook, work a HDC into each chain. CH 1 and turn. (94 stitches)

ROW 2:  Work a HDSS into each stitch across the row. CH 2 and turn. 

ROW 3: (turning chain does not count as stitch) Work a HDC into each stitch across the row. CH 2 and turn. 

ROW 4: *Work a berry into the first stitch, then work a SC into the next stitch. Repeat from * to the end of the row. (You should end the row with a SC.) CH 2 and turn. 

ROW 5: Work a HDC into each stitch across the row. CH 1 and turn.

Repeat rows 2 through 5 until your blanket reaches appx. 35 inches in length. 

Shell Border

Weave in all ends with a tapestry needle. 

Round 1: Pull up a loop in any corner and chain 1. Work one round of SC around the blanket, working one SC per row on the sides and one SC per stitch on the ends of the blanket. Work 3 SCs into each corner. When you reach the starting corner, slip stitch into starting stitch, then CH 1 and turn. 

Round 2: *SC into first stitch, skip one stitch, work 5 DCs into next stitch, skip one stitch. Repeat from * around the blanket. When you reach starting corner, slip stitch into starting stitch and tie off. (You may need to skip an extra stitch at the end to make the final shell work.)
