This beautiful baby blanket mini CAL will be running from 08/02/2020 every Saturday at 8 am GMT+1, for 4 weeks and it will be published in 4 parts here on my blog and on Ravelry too.
The pattern is completely free and it will stay like that FOREVER. 🙂
It is super easy to follow and perfect for beginners as it doesn’t use a lot of different stitches.
I created this mini CAL just for fun, to keep your mind off of everyday problems for a bit, to help you get relaxed and get lost in the journey of creating something nice.
You can use any kind of DK yarn, you can change color anytime you want, it’s totally up to you. 🙂 I will publish the pattern the way I made the color changes but you don’t have to follow that order.
Here’s the first part of the pattern, which will create 1/3 of the blanket.
If you want to make it wider the starting chain should be: multiples of 7+4

DC = double crochet
*-* =repeat pattern between these symbols
Additional terms/ Special Stitches:
Crossed double crochet:
Skip 1 stitch and put 1 double crochet into the next stitch, then put 1 double crochet into the skipped stitch. This way you will create nice little double crochet ”crosses”.
Picot Stitch:
CH 3 and then SLST back into the first chain of CH 3

Additional notes:
- If a row/round starts with a Chain 1, that is not counted as a stitch
- CH 3 is always counted as a DC
- US terms used throughout
- Slip stitch doesn’t count as a stitch
- Notes are written in (brackets) to help you through the pattern
- When working on the corners, always remember that there might be a hidden stitch hiding under the corner stitches which is the first stitch of the previous row
