Earth side blanket

Every time a work colleague gets pregnant I like to make them a baby blanket and I often turn these into patterns ! I try to make patterns which are enjoyable to make as you’re sitting on the couch, with some variety, but that don’t require too much thinking as that’s what I like.

This blanket is made with strips of easy half double crochet rows. A bit of variety is added with some sections of stripes and bobbles. You can then choose to add some images and / or words using surface croc

chet or leave it plain if you prefer. Finally the strips are joined together with a feather type stitch join or a simpler join if you’re in a hurry and then a simple border is added.

All sections of the pattern have video tutorials, so this pattern is perfect for beginners.

You can easily adjust the size of your blanket by making shorter or longer strips and adding or subtracting strips. It is up to you !
