Hi everyone! Today I’m sharing my newest crochet pattern, the Lullaby Baby Blanket. This super soft, handmade baby blanket is made using beginner stitches. 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 Lullaby Baby Blanket, I used Premier Basix Yarn. However, you can use whatever #4 worsted weight yarn you’d like. I also used a size J-10 (6.0mm) 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!

Lullaby Baby Blanket

Materials:

• (2) skeins of Premier Basix in White
• (1) skein each of Premier Basix in Ballet, Lemon, Mint, Light Blue, and Lilac
• J-10 (6.0mm) crochet hook
• Tapestry needle
• Scissors

Size:

37×37

Notes:

• This blanket is worked in multiples of 3. This means you will work 3+3+3+3 until your desired width.
• Chain 2 counts as your first single crochet.
• Whenever you see parenthesis, you will follow the instructions inside the parenthesis into the stitch indicated.
