Learn how to crochet the moss stitch using three strands of yarn held together! The Stashbusting Moss Stitch Crochet Baby Blanket works up fast and has lovely color changes when you use this technique.

If you’re like me, you have a lot of yarn. ;) You can clear out some of your stash quickly when you crochet with three strands held together! To, you know, make room for more yarn. ;)

For example, my local library was hosting a yarn swap, and I scored 7 skeins of (discontinued) baby yarn! Using three strands of yarn held together, I was able to make a blanket with DK-weight yarn that worked up quite quickly. A fun stashbusting project!

I hope you enjoy this pattern!
