Grape Lemonade Baby Blanket

 

This fun baby blanket has it all!  It is beautifully textured, uses soft yarn, and is easy to make.  Oh, and did I mention that it is also quick?  This blanket was completed in about 8-10 hours!  

I have again used one of my all-time favorite stitches, Lemon Peel.  If you love the lemon peel stitch as much as I do, check out the Lumpy Lemonade Dishcloth or the Northern Lights Winter Scarf.  

Ravelry and Pinterest links coming soon.   

Supplies:
Bernat Baby Blanket main color: approximately 430 yards (six 3.5 oz skeins)

Bernat Baby Blanket Yarn, stripe and border: approximately 100-120 yards
12mm hook
Yarn Needle
Scissors

Stitch Markers

Abbreviations:

ch = chain
sl-st = slip stitch

sc = single crochet
dc = double crochet
st = stitch

sts = stitches

ch-sp = chain space

hk = hook

Finished size = 35" x 38"

Notes:

• Chain stitches do not count as a stitch
• I used a 12mm hook, but I crochet tightly.  If you crochet loose, consider dropping down a hook size.
• Gauge is not important.
• Mark your ch-sp in each corner with a stitch marker.  This makes it easier to find!
• To adjust the size of your blanket, start with an odd number of chains.
