Alpine Stitch In The Round! Well, square actually :slightly_smiling_face:!

The Alpine Square Baby Blanket is a modern take on the classic granny square, featuring the beautifully textured alpine stitch worked in the round. This stitch combination of double crochet and front post treble crochet creates a rich, woven texture that looks intricate while remaining relaxing and enjoyable to make.

Finished with a crab stitch border, the blanket is framed with a nostalgic edge reminiscent of ribbon-trimmed baby blankets which adds a soft, modern finish.

Designed with both beauty and practicality in mind, this pattern produces a thick and cozy fabric that’s perfect for baby snuggles, gifting, and keepsakes. The stitch repeat is easy to learn and satisfying to work, making it a wonderful project for confident beginners and experienced crocheters alike.
