This reversible baby blanket is easy to make with a 2-row repeat. Because you work 2 right-side rows followed by 2 wrong-side rows, the white yarn is never finished off until the very end of the edging. This means less ends to weave in!
Use one main color and any number of contrasting yarn colors you like for a customized blanket. This can also be a great stash-busting project!
The pattern is written in US crochet terminology. Full written instructions are included, as well as a symbol crochet chart.
Watch my YouTube video HERE where I demonstrate how to crochet and finish off this baby blanket. I even demonstrate how to weave in the ends securely so they won’t come out! In the video, I crocheted a doll size blanket, just like the baby blanket, but smaller. The size of the blanket is adjustable with a 2-stitch repeat and a 2-row repeat.
Mostly basic stitches are used in the blanket: chains, single crochet, double crochet and slip stitches, with the exception of double crochet clusters, which I demonstrate how to crochet in the video.
