This easy crochet stitch combination is one of my favorites and makes for a beautiful modern baby blanket, using today’s gorgeous baby Aran yarn.ย
This crochet baby blanket was made especially for a customer, who is delighted with it. As its colors will match their pram.ย
ย
Being from the North of Scotland means the blanket will keep the baby snug and cozy all wrapped up.
ย
I used 4x sidar snuggly 100g (UK) and a 4.500mm hook to create this adorable baby blanket.A Great Alternative for the (US) is Cascade Aran Whiteย
ย
The Crochet Baby Blanket Pattern starts HEREย
Start the Foundation chain of the Blanket withย a 5.00mm hook
ย
Chain 161 (very loosely, or consider starting with a bigger hook)ย
(This made my blanket 45 inches WIDE)ย
ย
Please Remember your tension may be different from mine, you may need to go up a hook or down a hook size, OR change your starting chain as long as you have a Multiple of 3 + 2
ย
Change here to a 4.50mm hook and continue using for the rest of the blanket
ย
Row 1:ย {1sc, 2dc}in 2nd ch from hook, * skip 2ch’s, {1sc, 2dc} in next ch, * rpt from * * to last 3ch’s, skip 2ch’s, 1sc in last ch. Turn. (53 shells)
ย
Row 2: ch1, {1sc, 2dc} in base of ch1, * skip 2dc, {1sc, 2dc} in next sc,* rpt from * * to last 2dc and sc, skip 2dc, 1sc in last stitch. Turn.

Crochet Baby Blanket Borderย
Round 1: Ch3, dc evenly around the edges of the blanket, working 3dc into each corner.ย
ย
ย (You will thread the ribbon through the alternate posts of this round)
ย
Round 2:ย Ch1 (counts as the first single crochet) skip 2 stitches, and work 6 dc into the next,ย
*Skip next 2 sts, sc in next st, skip 2sts, work 6 dc in next stitch* repeat around.ย
(at the corners you may need to skip 1 stitch to get the 6 dc in the very corner stitch)
ย
Please Note: You may find you have or may not have enough stitches to work like this so where you can skip 2 stitches,I just skip 1 if I need to ensure the corner middle stitch has a 6dc to sit in the corner)ย
Fasten off and weave ends in neatly finishย

To make the Pom Pom I wrapped the yarn around my four fingers plenty of times to make a fluffy pom.
ย
Remove from fingers, tie tightly around the middle of both sides to draw in and to secure.ย
ย
Leave a length of yarn to attach pom to hat.ย ย
ย
Cut the opposite ends and fluff up……Use the yarn tail you left when securing the middle and attach tightly to the top of the hat.ย
