We have a very simple, yet very beautiful crochet baby blanket pattern to share today! This beauty uses a simple stitch combination that delivers a relaxing experience as you watch it grow.

Use Bernat Softee Cotton in Feathered Gray and you have a beautiful and giftable baby blanket for your next baby shower. We can’t recommend this yarn enough (and it’s all restocked on Yarnspirations.com yay!)

We recommend stocking up now, as it sells out quickly. We often use this yarn and have made many blankets and other projects with it. At the end of this post, I’ll link a list of every blanket and other project we have made in case you want to browse for more ideas.

Let’s get straight to the pattern!

Materials

Bernat Softee Baby Cotton (60% Cotton, 40% Acrylic, Ball Size: 120 g/ 4.2 oz, 232 m/ 254 yds) Tap name of yarn to shop yarnspirations.com

5 skeins any color

G, 4.00 mm hook, tapestry needle, scissors

Finished size 30 inches x 30 inches approximately

Stitches

Single Crochet (SC): Insert your hook, YO and pull up a loop, YO and pull through two loops on hook.

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

Slip Stitch (SL ST):Insert your hook, YO, pull up a loop and pull directly through loop on hook.

Pattern

Chain 130 (or any even number to the length you desire.)

Row 1: Begin in the second chain from the hook with SC. SC into each chain across the row. CH 1 and turn. (129)

Row 2: SC into each SC across the row. CH 1 and turn.

Row 3-4: SL ST into the first st. *HDC into the next st. SL ST into the next st. Repeat from * across the row. (your last stitch should be a SL ST.) CH 1 and turn. (This stitch sequence is known as Even Moss.)

(tip: on the next row of Even Moss stitch, SL ST are always worked into SL ST and HDC into HDC.)

For the remainder of the blanket work 2 rows of single crochet and 2 rows of even moss stitch until you have 30 inches in height or a square blanket. End with 2 rows of SC.

Border

After the last row of SC is complete, CH 1 and turn. Work SC into each SC and 3 SC into each corner. Work 2 SC at the end of every other row on the sides of the throw. Join with a SL ST to the starting SC at the end of the round. Cut and weave in all the ends.

If you’d like to make this as a throw, with a slight variation to the width of the textured rows, try our pattern Even Moss Mock Cable Throw in Forever Fleece.
