Hi everyone! Today I’m sharing with you my newest crochet pattern, the Rainbow Dreams Baby Blanket. This is a beautiful pastel colored blanket that is perfect for the little baby in your life. The Rainbow Dreams Baby Blanket is a beginner-friendly pattern that consists of a one row repeat, which is perfect for both beginners and more experienced crocheters alike.
The Rainbow Dreams Baby Blanket is made using Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn in Pink, Light Peach, Buttercup, Menthe, Soft Blue, and Orchid. You can check out my review of this yarn here. However, you can use any #4 worsted weight yarn you have in your yarn stash. I also used a size J-10 crochet hook. My favorite crochet hooks to use are the Clover Amour. You will also need a pair of scissors and a tapestry needle. Gather your supplies and let’s begin!
RAINBOW DREAMS BABY BLANKET
Materials:
- (1) skein each of I Love This Yarn in Pink, Light Peach, Buttercup, Menthe, Soft Blue, and Orchid
- J-10 crochet hook
- Scissors
- Tapestry needle
Size:
38 x 36
Notes:
- You can change up the sizing of this blanket by making more or less chains depending on your preference. Likewise, you can make this blanket longer by working more rows.
- You will be working in the back loops only (BLO) of each stitch across the row. This will result in a ribbed effect.
- Chain 2 counts as a half double crochet stitch.
- Each color consists of 6 rows before moving onto the next color.
