Hi everyone! Today I’m sharing my newest crochet pattern, the Neapolitan Baby Blanket. This super soft, handmade baby blanket is made using easy stitches in a striped design. 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 Neapolitan Baby Blanket, I used Hobby Lobby I Love This 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!

Neapolitan Baby Blanket

Materials:

• (1) skein each of Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn in White, Glacier, Rosy Cheeks, and Graphite
•  J-10 (6.0mm) crochet hook
• Tapestry needle
• Scissors

Size:

34 x 34

Notes:

• You can change up the sizing of this blanket by making a chain multiple of 3+1. This means you will multiply any number by 3. Once satisfied, you will add 1 chain to the very end.
• Chain 3 counts as a double crochet stitch.
• Each color consists of 6 rows before moving onto the next color.
