Easy Beginner Crochet Baby Blanket Video Tutorial

In this video, I demonstrate an easy beginner crochet blanket stitch that I love to use for baby blankets. This fun stitch builds up quickly and only requires that you repeat one row, which makes is great for beginners. You can find the full pattern as well as list of materials for this baby blanket on the Leelee Knits Website at the link below.

It's such a beautiful pattern my mom made when I was younger. She has since passed away. I made a baby blanket in memory of her for my granddaughter. Thank you for the video that triggered a happy memory.

Can you tell me how many you chain for length of baby blanket? I’d really appreciate it ! 💕

[@yolandamessing1898]

Each time I get back to crochet I had to get with my mama to get a "lesson" on starting and finishing my afghan. I no longer have her to remind me what to do at the start and finish. Finding your tutorial has been a wonderful highlight in my day. The memories are endless. Thanks so much for your great tutorial

[@ssaah59ify]

This is one of my favorites! I am a visual learner so videos like this help me tremendously! Thank you for being so clear and concise in your instructions!

I'm relatively new to crocheting, and I was looking for a project that wouldn't go to waste, so I decided on making baby blankets for Knots of Hope. This pattern and your video are excellent! This is the first blanket pattern I've found that I feel confident in starting. Thanks for such a great video!

What is the name of this stitch

[@kellymccoy6174]

New to your channel! I have been crocheting for a year now. Just the scarfs and blankets so far. Started to learn Tunisian crochet when my boss decided to have a baby and wants me to make a blanket. I ran across this vid, went to Michaels and have started this. Thank you for being a good teacher of every step of the way!! Your slow and precise directions are working well for me. I am 2 rows in and loving it!! I can't wait to explore the rest of your channel!!

[@minaz2816]

My granddaughter wants to learn to crochet and after doing some research, this is definitely a great pattern to start with…easier and more interesting than a granny square. Thanks you…very clear and precise!✨

I love these colors together, so summery. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@leeleeknits]

You’re welcome! Enjoy the pattern 💞

[@epena2805]

I also am a huge fan of this stitch. I made one for myself in chenille but had to hide it from my cat - she liked it so much & couldn’t stop padding on it. 🙀 I have since made three others. It lends itself so well for changing colors and using all kinds of yarn. Thank you for sharing.

[@rerek2404]

I love this so much ur instructions were so easy and unlike most channels it actually works out some people leave out things like stitches and u don’t realise til u get so far in so I’m a little put off by trying out new stitches off KZbin but I’m so glad I found your Channel. I’m already half way into my blanket and it’s perfect so thank you 🙏🏼

[@bonniemcpherson8021]

Oh thank you so beautiful I just love this pattern .I'm happy I found you I needed to make a baby blanket and didn't know what pattern to do .thank you again god bless stay safe

[@alexafinlason-bull312]

I rarely comment on KZbin videos but I have to for this! I love this pattern! Thank you for posting such an easy to follow tutorial. What I love about this is it looks so impressive without it being difficult! Once you get the pattern down you can crochet away whilst watching tv or doing anything else, it’s easy to see where you left off or make a mistake and you don’t have to unravel a bunch of count stitches. I made one for my pregnant sister in law and she said it’s the best thing she’s ever seen me make and I agree! I’m immediately starting a second blanket for my best friend who is also pregnant, I can’t wait to finish this one and pass it on! Thank you!

[@cheryls.YTHandle]

This may be my favorite stitch of all time. Weldon's Victorian Crochet called it Crazy Stitch. It forms a perfect square if you start from a single motif and increase every row, 3-spoke, dblcrost. Not much you can't make with it. Makes a pretty trim. I make a roll of strip trim with it to increase a bra strap sizeable with buttons. Glad you brought it out here. I call it Diagonal Bias. Can be made 2-spoke. Versatile.
