Hello friends, Hannah here with a new quick and easy baby blanket pattern, made with a brand new yarn!

Caron All Day Cotton is a new 100% mercerized cotton yarn from Yarnspirations.com and I was so excited to try it for the first time with this blanket!

This blanket is a Christmas gift for my new nephew on my husband’s side of the family that was born in October, and I absolutely love how this cotton yarn worked up. It’s definitely one of those blankets that I feel really proud and excited to give as a gift!

I decided to use this beautiful Country Blue shade for my nephew, but be sure to check out all the other lovely shades of this yarn on Yarnspirations.com!

Materials

Caron All Day Cotton yarn (100% cotton, 100 g/3.5 oz, 158 m/173 yds)

6 skeins Country Blue

Size H/5.00mm hook, tapestry needle, scissors

Size

Finished size 29 in x 33 in

Gauge 4 in = 13 st and 13 rows of pattern

Stitches

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

Treble Crochet (TC): YO twice, insert your hook, YO and pull up a loop, YO and pull through two loops, YO and pull through two loops, YO and pull through two remaining loops. 

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

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

Pattern

Chain 100 (or any even number). 

Row 1: Starting in the 2nd chain from the hook, work 1 SC in each chain. CH 1 and turn. 

Row 2: Work 1 SC in the first stitch. *Work 1 TC in the next stitch, and 1 SC in the next stitch. Repeat from * across the row. CH 1 and turn. 

Row 3: Work 1 SC in each stitch across the row. CH 1 and turn.

Repeat rows 2 and 3 until you have 89 rows total (88 treble rows). After the last row you can either tie off and weave in your ends, or CH 1 and start working down the side of your blanket for the border. 

Border

Round 1: Work 1 round of SC around the blanket, working 3 SC into each corner. Work 1 SC per row on the sides and 1 SC per stitch on the sides. When you reach the starting corner, slip stitch into the starting stitch and CH 5. 

Round 2: Starting in the 2nd chain from the hook, work HDSS in each of the 4 chains back toward the edge of the blanket. *Slip stitch into the next stitch, and in the next stitch. Turn and work HDSS in the back loops of each of the 4 HDSS you just made. CH 1 and turn. Work back down the HDSS in the back loops only. (From now on, always work in the back loop of each HDSS.) Repeat from across * each side.

Corners: When you reach a corner space, only slip stitch once, before turning and *working HDSS back up to the top of the border. Return and slip stitch once into the corner space. Repeat from * two more times, then resume slip stitching into each of the next two stitches and working across the side.

(If your corner isn’t looking rounded enough, you can slip stitch an additional time into the corner and work up and down an extra time with HDSS, or if it is causing the border to ripple, you can slip stitch into the corner only two times instead of three.)

When you reach the starting corner, work the corner the same way as previous corners. Stop when you get to the top of the border and tie off, then use a tapestry needle to sew corners together.
