Beautiful Crochet Baby Blanket Pattern, with with a pretty ripple texture that resembles soft bobbles.

Very easy to make, and looks fantastic done in variegated yarn. I chose Wondersoft Merry-go-Round, and the pinks and peaches reminded me of Fruit Salad Chews that I used to buy as a child. So pretty!

The main pattern has only 2 basic stitches, so making this pattern ideal for beginners.

The format is UK crochet, not US, (please refer to a UK stitch guide, and not YouTube, if unsure of stitches!), and you will need 1 x 200g DK, and a 6mm crochet hook, and also a 5mm for border.

I used Wondersoft Merry-go-Round DK for this blanket, but any DK will do.

Finished measurements approx. 54cm x 70cm (21” x 27”)

Additional PDF pattern added for the lemon and white blanket. This blanket is a little bigger at 61cm x 71cm, and you will need approx 300 DK and a 6mm hook. It also has a different border to the “fruit salad” blanket, although the main blanket pattern is the same. The price also remains the same, so win win, 2 blankets patterns for the price of one!
