Slip Stitch Crochet Temperature Baby Blanket
Ever wondered what it would be like to make a project entirely in slip stitch, but never wanted to try since it would take forever?
Introducing the Slip Stitch Crochet Temperature Baby Blanket!
This temperature baby blanket pattern uses crochet’s shortest stitch to produce a small blanket suitable for babies! Worked in the back loop only, you achieve a similar effect to stockinette stitch in knitting, just turned on its side.
This is a wonderful pregnancy project, and this particular design features gender-neutral colors! My favorite colors are orange and green, so this blanket was extra fun for me to design. :)
Below you can see the pattern as well as my monthly progress! Once the blanket is complete, I will update this post with finished project images, final measurements, border instructions, and anything else I’ve learned along the way.
I hope you enjoy this pattern!
This pattern includes many tips for planning your blanket!

Materials
Baby Bee Sweet Delight Weight 3 Light (60% Acrylic, 40% Polyamide, 377yds/345m, 4oz/113g):
1 skein naked (90+ degrees)
3 skeins bashfull (80-89 degrees)
3 skeins teddy bear cuddles (70-79 degrees)
2 skeins sand castle (60-69 degrees)
2 skeins gingerbread (50-59 degrees)
2 skeins springtime chateau (40-49 degrees)
2 skeins green light (30-39 degrees)
1 skeins baby sage (<29 degrees)
I DO NOT THINK I will need all this yarn, and will update the pattern with the amounts actually used once the blanket is complete! My prediction is only 1 skein will be needed of each color, and one extra skein for a border color for 9 skeins total / 3,393yds total.

Notes
I would suggest it is CRUCIAL to use stitch markers at the very beginning and end of each row. The last stitch especially tends to get tight, and you don’t want to accidentally drop any stitches over the course of this year-long project!
To adjust the width of the blanket, ch any number.
Join your next temperature color at the end of each row as needed.
