The Seedling crochet baby blanket utilizes the block stitch to create a lovely baby blanket.

Using two colors adds a pop of personality. This blanket is easy to customize for any gender, or any colors. You can also change the size as you see fit.

This baby blanket is a perfect gift for expecting parents.

This crochet block stitch baby blanket pattern was updated on 3/20/2024. The pattern now uses two colors instead of three and the technique used to crochet the pattern has been completely overhauled to avoid as many ends to weave in as possible. Additionally, a new border was designed for the blanket.
