This 12 page mitered square baby blanket pattern and photo tutorial features Lion Brand Ice Cream Yarn and each variation creates a little different look. Unlike many Tunisian Crochet blankets, you can crochet this blanket using a regular crochet hook! The mitered squares in this blanket are joined together with the Tunisian Entrelac technique. This means that there is no need to sew the squares together, because they are joined as you go! Whereas traditional entrelac crochet joins the squares together in a “stair-step” fashion, this pattern creates the squares in straight columns. The border of this blanket is made with Lion Brand Baby Soft yarn and is done in single crochet and half double crochet.

This pattern is designed for the intermediate crochet level. However, it is easy enough to follow that an adventurous beginner at Tunisian crochet who has learned the stitches and knows how to follow a pattern can create this as well. You should be familiar with single crochet, half double crochet, slip stitch, Tunisian simple stitch, Tunisian reverse stitch, and Tunisian knit stitch. Dimensions of the finished blanket are approximately 31” x 35”.
