Easy Crochet Baby Girl Blanket Tutorial - Free Crochet Blanket Pattern

[@oliviadawes3345]

Started this two years ago and here I am again trying to finish the darn thing lol

[@JewelsandJones]

Welcome back! You've got this! 😊 and I hope you enjoy making the blanket.

[@francesmosqueda8923]

I made this for my daughter in a Throw size (about 40"x40") in a curry/beige/sand. She's got particular taste. But she has it in her living room over her linen couches ❤😂 now I'm making a natural color one in a baby size for her baby who is due in December 🎉

[@JewelsandJones]

Oh wow! And congratulations! That's so exciting. 😊 I'm so glad she liked the blanket.

[@119_37]

I made this in the same colour in worsted weight for our new granddaughter and it turned out beautifully! Thank you so much for generously sharing the free pattern. The young mother loved the gorgeous texture, as it has a cozy yet modern feel to it ❤️.

[@JewelsandJones]

Aww, that's so sweet of you to make your new grandbaby this blanket. Congratulations! I'm so happy that you enjoyed making the pattern. ✨😊

[@romystumpy1197]

I'm currently crocheting this design,it's going like a dream,no mistakes and just has a lovely flow while working this,I definitely recommend this for beginners

[@JewelsandJones]

Wonderful! I'm so glad you're enjoying the pattern. 😊

[@melodeecurtis2999]

I have a new grandson due in January 🩵🩵 I have only made 1 crochet blanket in my life and I kept it for myself. I struggle with the first row always being tight and seems shorter than the rest going forward 🤦🏻‍♀️ I really want to make a blanket for the baby but I also want it to look GOOD! I love this pattern and hope to make it🙏🏻

[@JewelsandJones]

Aww congratulations! Yeah, the first row can always be a bit tricky with tension and all. I like to keep my chain very loose, you could maybe go up a hook size and then switch back to the hook size recommended in the pattern for the second row. I've also seen people make a chainless foundation chain, it's where you go straight into making the stitches. So those might be a few options that could help with making the first row. 😊

[@Dawnshipley66]

Thank you very much! I am making this pattern for our new granddaughter Ridley. She is a week old and I’ve put off making one until now. The color is gorgeous and the stitches are very pretty and easy for a beginner like myself. God Bless.🙏🙏🙏

[@JewelsandJones]

You're welcome and congratulations! I hope you enjoy making the pattern. 😊🙏

[@michelehicks3454]

Love this blanket. Im having a bit of a crochet block so I'm hoping this blanket will help me get back into the groove. Thank you

[@JewelsandJones]

Thank you! I think this project will help because it doesn't take to long and you're repeating two sections for the whole pattern. So it makes it easy in that sense, but it will also keep you engaged. In other words, I don't think you'll get bored. 😊 Also, if your interested, here is a post I wrote when you don't know what to crochet (might help with getting the crochet mojo back) : jewelsandjones.com/10-things-to-crochet-when-youre-bored/

[@melissamcmillan2183]

Thank you for the pattern. I made it in blue tones. It looks amazing.

[@JewelsandJones]

You're welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed making the pattern.

[@melissaladow4473]

This is so beautiful and looks easy enough to adapt for other projects! Tremendously grateful to all of you that share your tutorials. Many thanks!! ❤️

[@JewelsandJones]

Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy making the blanket. 😊

[@ashleychildress2368]

I made this in a worsted weight yarn as well. It turned out great. I had to work the edges with larger hook to even it out, but I’m so happy with it. I put 3 rows of border to help even it out more.

[@JewelsandJones]

Oh I'm so happy it turned out good. 😊 I hop you enjoyed making the pattern.

[@Bubbieof4]

I look forward to making this. I plan on reversing the patten to start with a double crochet foundation chain

[@JewelsandJones]

Oh that's a great idea! I hope you enjoy making the baby blanket. 😊

[@romystumpy1197]

What a lovely pattern simple unique pattern suited to my skill level, yet so effective,i like it !!!!

[@JewelsandJones]

Oh thank you so much! This is such a fun pattern to work up. I hope you enjoy makin it. 😊

[@jacobabraham9186]

Looks r very pretty. I had done a shawl last year using beige colour. Now I'll do it for a little girl in pink

[@JewelsandJones]

Nice! Thank you for sharing. 😊

[@romystumpy1197]

Very nice subtle stitching pattern and a suitable shade of yarn, tastefully done,not flamboyant

[@JewelsandJones]

Thank you! 😊 I hope you enjoy making the pattern.

[@theaakacrochetbeast]

Lovely pattern. Heirloom quality and you are a good teacher.

[@JewelsandJones]

Thank you so much! ✨ I hope you enjoy making it.

[@Cyndrome11]

Can you provide a link to the lovely label you used for this blanket?

[@JewelsandJones]

@@Cyndrome11 Thank you! I actually found the label at my local Hobby Lobby in the craft section.

[@solangesouza6277]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful crochet blanket tutorial ! You are so talented, and all your crochet works are gorgeous ! You are a marvelous crochet teacher ! 😊💗

[@JewelsandJones]

Thank you so much! That's so kind of you to say. I'm glad you enjoyed the tutorial. 😊✨

[@Cyndrome11]

I would love to see a “baby boy blanket” similar to this lovely pattern a masculine version

[@JewelsandJones]

That's such a great idea! Thank you. All see what I can do 😊.

[@missyraf73]

I did the pattern in blue…

[@JRKauffman-s6w]

Will this pattern work for a boy as well?

[@amandamontgomery3198]

This seems easy to follow

[@JewelsandJones]

Thank you! It's a really fun and easy blanket to make. 😊

[@karenwatkins4122]

Thank you your blanket looks beautiful God bless

[@JewelsandJones]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@maysanaser90]

Thank you so much , very pretty❤❤❤

[@JewelsandJones]

Thank you! 😊

[@deborahholmes5137]

Love this but when you do the border what di you do in the corners? Please.

[@JewelsandJones]

Hi there, in the pattern I explain what to do for the border. But I also have a blog post/video tutorial on how to make a single border. Here's the link: jewelsandjones.com/single-crochet-border-tutorial/

[@thanaahjassiem9854]

This is so pretty, many thanks!

[@JewelsandJones]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@vanitajain107]

Beautiful pattern ! Can you tell me what size hook to use if I’m using lion brand pound of love yarn for this pattern? The recommended hook on the label is 6mm.

[@JewelsandJones]

Hi there, I would personally make a gauge swatch and see if you need to go up a hook size or go down a hook size (my gauge is listed in the pattern). Yarn weights vary so much, so I would personally make a gauge swatch. This way your blanket also turns out the same as the pattern. 😊

[@bobbimagathan9451]

Loving this for a baby blanket I am making. After three rows of double crochet, do you chain one and turn to start the 7th row? Or chain 3? Thank you for the easy to follow swatch. The small example is a great idea!!

[@JewelsandJones]

Thank you. 😊 So yes, you're going to alternate after making three rows of double crochet and 3 rows of the suzette stitch. Here are the written instructions for the pattern: jewelsandjones.com/simple-crochet-baby-girl-blanket-free-pattern/

[@bobbimagathan9451]

Thank you so much for responding. I checked the pattern but my problem is when I get to the last stitch of the rows. So single crochet, chain one and turn at the end of Suzette rows. Chain 4-5 is it double on last stitch and chain 3 and turn and continue with the double crochet in the very first stitch and next 3 rows? My blanket is looking like a cape doing that ☹️

[@Michelle.05]

Hi Nicky! I have a question about the 2nd row of double crochet. Does our last DC of row 2 go in the last DC of the first row OR the chain 3? This is something that always confuses me, even when I watch tutorials.

[@Michelle.05]

Never mind, I just read your notes on your website!!😊

[@JewelsandJones]

Ok, perfect! 😊 Good luck with the blanket!

[@erinclevine]

Do you have any recommendations for a border for this beautiful blanket? 😊

[@JewelsandJones]

Hi there, I've always loved a simple single crochet border for this pattern since it's quite textured. But I also think a picot stitch border or a crab stitch border would look good as well. Here are the links for the tutorials: single crochet border: jewelsandjones.com/single-crochet-border-tutorial/ Picot stitch border: jewelsandjones.com/crochet-picot-stitch-border-tutorial/ Crab stitch border: jewelsandjones.com/crab-stitch-border-tutorial/ I hope that helps! Good luck😊

[@erinclevine]

@@JewelsandJones you’re the best! Thank you so much! ❤️

[@Cyndrome11]

I made this with Bernat Softee Cotton in the color Sandstone (yarn I had on hand already). It came out beautiful. In the meantime I did pick up Yarn Bee Bambootiful in Rose and will make another.

[@JewelsandJones]

Oh I love that yarn! I hope you enjoyed making the blanket. Thank you for sharing! 😊✨

[@KiwiDh383]

I love this yarn but it’s so expensive to purchase and delivery to Australia

[@karakalenak1676]

Are you including your chain three in the double crochet row as a stitch or the first double crochet in that first stitch is considered your first and last stitches in the rows

[@JewelsandJones]

Hi there, your chain 3 does not count as a stitch.

[@donnasvien4222]

How many rows from start to finish ? Is this blanket? ❤

[@JewelsandJones]

Hi there, you can find the free written pattern here with all the directions: jewelsandjones.com/simple-crochet-baby-girl-blanket-free-pattern/

[@SieuwkeElzinga]

Does the chain 3 count as a DC? You insert the hook in the first stitch and not in the second? When I do this my blanket is turning round at the sides.

[@JewelsandJones]

Hi there, chain 3 does not count as a double crochet stitch. You want to make your double crochet in the last stitch. So you're going to place it in the last single crochet from the previous row. The last stitch can sometimes be a little hard to see, because it's almost on the outer edge. I would put a stitch marker on the last stitch (sc) and this way it's easier to see when you're making your double crochet rows. I hope this helps! 😊

[@lauretta.st.pierre]

If i wanted to make this in a throw size blanket, how many chains would the foundation chain need to be?

[@JewelsandJones]

Hi there, I'm currently working on more sizes for this pattern 😊. But the multiple for this blanket is 2.

[@MichellePass]

I’m a bit confused, does the 3 chain on the DC row count as a stitch or do I only end up with the 119 total stitches per row? I would be grateful for a quick response 😊 you don’t mention this that I can see.

[@JewelsandJones]

Hi there, the chain 3 does not count as a double crochet stitch.

[@justinklingensmith3226]

How would a color change look with this?

[@JewelsandJones]

Hi there, I think it looks really nice. I've seen some finished photos of this pattern in two colors, and it looks really good. I would recommend either picking two muted colors or two bright colors, but honestly it''s up to you and what your prefer. 😊

[@airytoral7905]

Can I do the same pattern with a different yarn?

[@JewelsandJones]

Absolutely! Here's an example of one I made with different yarn and a different hook size: jewelsandjones.com/easy-textured-crochet-blanket-free-pattern/

[@daniellesuggs4484]

Would it work with self striping yarn?

[@JewelsandJones]

Hi there, yes this pattern will definitely work with a self striping yarn.

[@nsmithers1]

Where did you buy your 100% homemade tags?

[@JewelsandJones]

Hi, I bought them at Hobby Lobby.

[@marthaslaughter4588]

Does the chain 3 count as a stitch?

[@JewelsandJones]

Hi there, it does not count as a stitch.

[@alinatorrez2569]

If I want to make it a different size...a multiple of how many stitches ?

[@JewelsandJones]

Hi there, the multiple for this blanket is 2. 😊

[@hannahmilster1149]

Somehow i keep losing stitches even though I'm counting and following the pattern to a T. It keeps happening on my row of sussette stitches. Any tips on how i can avoid doing this over and over?

[@JewelsandJones]

Hi there, yes, I would add a stitch marker to the last stitch on the last row of your double crochet sections. The last stitch of the suzette stitch is almost on the side of the row (it's a bit slanted), which makes it's hard to see. You can even add a stitch marker to the last stitch when starting this section. I hope this helps! 😊

[@Breyanna143]

My edges didn’t come out at straight it’s wavy why

[@JewelsandJones]

Hi there, I'm thinking your tension was a little tight. Did you meet gauge in the pattern?

[@gloriafernandez6014]

HI! I really like to do this but i have tried couple of times already but i am always off with the double crochet.I read that the 3 chains is not included with the counting so with your example of 12 chains, i ended up with 11 double crochet plus the the 3 chains.Is that correct .Thanks

[@victoriacatharine1401]

Hi! this took me so long to figure out, but I finally got it. The first row of chains you chain an even number, then on the second row you go to the second chain and follow the pattern, so you have 1 less stitch than you chained (if you chained 120, you now have 119 stitches). So when you get to the rows of double crochets you should have an odd number.

[@JewelsandJones]

Hi there, you should end up with 119 stitches for the second row.

[@wendygibbs8433]

I am one stitch short on the second row. There is only one stitch left when I get to the end. Tried it several times. The first row is fine. :/

[@JewelsandJones]

Hello, I'm not sure if you're missing a stitch, but sometimes I find that the last stitch is almost hidden and looks like a chain 1 when working the Suzette Stitch. Just a tip, but sometimes I like to add a stitch marker to my first stitch and last stitch in the row. I find this really helpful.

[@lynnuppermichigan9187]

At 120 ch how many stitches do we after the first row?

[@JewelsandJones]

Hi there, you will have 119 chains. Here's the link to the free pattern: jewelsandjones.com/simple-crochet-baby-girl-blanket-free-pattern/

[@allisonhay8760]

I am new to crochet, and I am curious why my product is coming out so curved!? Is it my tension?

[@JewelsandJones]

Hi there, it could definitely be your tension. I would make a couple of practice swatches to help even out your tension and then start the project. 😊✨

[@AngelaStClair-ii5mn]

Do you put a border on this?

[@JewelsandJones]

Yes, you can definitely add a border. I did a single crochet border around my blanket. There are some wonderful tutorials on KZbin on how to make a single crochet border and some other borders.

[@michelleworden]

I’m sorry but can you please go much slower for us first time crocheters.😢

[@JewelsandJones]

Hi there, you can make the video slower on the bottom of the screen. It'll make my sentences slower as well, but it should help with seeing the stitches a bit better. 😊
