Hi everyone! Today I’m sharing my newest crochet pattern, the Double Down Baby Blanket. This super soft, handmade baby blanket is made using beginner stitches. If you like making the ever popular V-Stitch Baby Blanket, this blanket is just for you! It is the perfect baby afghan for a newborn baby and would also be an excellent baby shower gift that would be treasured for years to come.
For the Double Down Baby Blanket, I used Premier Anti-Pilling DK. However, you can use whatever #3 light-weight yarn you’d like. I also used a size H-8 (5.0mm) crochet hook. I highly recommend using my favorite crochet hooks, Clover Amour. You will also need a tapestry needle and a pair of scissors. Gather your supplies and let’s begin!
Double Down Baby Blanket
Materials:
- (5) skeins of Premier Anti-Pilling DK in Aqua

Notes:
- To adjust the size of your blanket, you will need to make a chain in a multiple of 2.
- The chain 3 counts as your first double crochet.
- You will be working your double crochets in between the 2 double crochet group two rows below.
