What is your favorite baby shower gift? Mines are handmade blankets and things that are made with so much love. This beautiful blanket stitch from Crochet Spot is perfect for a baby blanket in a pretty pink or blue or for a regular afghan with bright colors!

This easy stitch is perfect for an afghan or blanket. It is just sets of 3 stitches, one single crochet and two doubles. Once you get into the hang of it, you can do it in your sleep! 

The How To Crochet: Blanket Stitch  photo tutorial offered by Robin Beersshows the stitch pattern, which can be used with just about any yarn you like. If you’ve been searching for an easy crochet pattern for baby blankets you should try this one. The directions are so clear. You should feel quite comfortable trying it.

 Decide how wide you want your blanket to be and chain the proper number in multiples of 3. I chained 108 for this blanket and it is about 31 inches wide.
