As you know, I really like to make baby blankets. They can be created as gifts and are also great for donating to hospitals and charities. Most of these crochet blanket models also work as lapghans, so you can give them to retirement homes, not just babies.
That’s really simple and fast crochet blanket. Even a total beginner can make it easily. I used Trinity stitch for the blanket and Alpine stitch for the border. Both of them is just one row repeat.
Video tutorial also can help you. I would like to see and share your finished projects. Please don’t forget to tag me at instagram ( @sirinscrochet).

This pattern is done in multiples of 2. Starting with 6.5mm hook
Row 1. Ch90 and turn, sc in second ch from hook. Insert hook into the same sp as sc st and pull up a loop, pull up a loop from the next 2 sts, now you should have 4 loops on your hook, yo and pull through all loops on your hook, ch1 to close. (insert hook into same sp and pull up a loop, pull up a loop from the next 2 sts, yo and pull through all loops on hook ch1 to close)* repeat across, on the last one don’t close with ch1 do a sc into the last st.
Row 2. Ch1 and turn, 1sc into first st, (insert hook into same sp and pull up a loop, pull up a loop from the next 2 sts, yo and pull through all loops on hook ch1 to close)* repeat across, on the last one don’t close with ch1 do a sc into the last st.
Repeat row 2 to desired length

Round 1.
First side: Ch3 and turn, do 1dc, in each st across. For the corner ch2 and do 1dc, into same sp as last dc. Second side: 1dc for each row.

Please help, I made your baby blanket, it is beautiful but I messed up can you help me fix it please. A row is sagging really bad in the middle.
Hi. Did you make a different row?
Hi Sirin, do you use American terms for your patterns.
Yes Angela, I am using American terms.
I love your blanket patterns, they are so simple yet so very elegant. Thank you for sharing with us!!!
Thank you ♥
It is so kind of you to offer free patterns. May I ask what is the completed size of this blanket. Thanks Evelyn. Please reply to evsky@cogeco.ca
Just stumbled across your videos and website. I am so excited to get started on this one! The video is great, and being able to check out the written pattern is helpful, thank you!
To Evelyn’s question above: check out the video, 2:00 minutes in Sirin talks about the size of the blanket.
Thank you Kayla ♥ You are so sweet.
What is the multiple for the foundation chain in the event that I want to make a larger version of this blanket? Thanks in advance.
Hello, I’d like to use the border stich for the entire blanket. Do you have a written pattern for this stitch starting from scratch? Thank you
Yes Barbara. It’s Alpine or Raindrop stitch. You can find the tutorial on my channel ♥
I’m doing something wrong. but im not sure what. My stitch count is correct for the first row, but i end up with an extra stitch on the second row. I’ve watched the video and I believe I’m starting the second row in the correct stitch (the sc from the previous row), but i’m off by one stitch. Any suggestions?
The comment I left on another pattern was really regarding this pattern. If I want to make the blanket bigger than 29 inches, how would I go about this and keeping it squared and also not running out of yarn of the 1020 yds.
Hi, Sirin:
I loved your video and decided to make the blanket for my new grandson due this December!. However, he’s supposed to be a very big baby, so I am doubling the pattern – so he can use the blanket for a long time. Also, I love your beautiful cats!
Hi, I stumbled on your beautiful blanket and decided to try making it. I have now finished it but had a question on the border. Do you cut your yarn when you finish the blanket before you start the border? And with the “tail” where you began the blanket on the left side, where do you begin to make the border? Thanks so much.
Beautiful work and patterns. I think the finished size should be in the written directions. Also printing the pattern would be much easier with a print friendly button. Great patterns and photography! Thank you.
