Tricolor Alpine Stitch Baby Blanket

This pattern is also available for free on my blog HERE.
Learn to crochet the alpine stitch and make a gorgeous baby blanket with rich texture! With the use of post stitches you can achieve these beautiful ridges, and pretty easily, too, once you get a feel for the technique!
Believe it or not, the alpine stitch is a pretty mindless pattern once you get going. It’s a four row repeat but it feels like a two row repeat. Each set of two rows is very similar – just different enough to be a four row repeat officially.
I LOVED carrying the yarn up the sides as I worked up this pattern. Having barely any ends to weave in is a game changer!
In order to carry your yarn up the sides, you need to complete an odd number rows per color. Since the alpine stitch is a four row repeat, I wasn’t sure how changing the color every three rows would pan out. Well I am thrilled with the results! I think the colors transition just beautifully, a bit more of an ombre or even woven look.
