This colourful baby blanket is fun to make and is a great way to practice new crochet stitches. Rather than writing a detailed row-by-row pattern, I’ve described the stitches I’ve used.

You can follow my example, or mix and match stitches to suit your own design.

Finished size: 80cm width x 102cm height

I’ve used 12 colours in total, but you can make this with around 6.5 (100g) balls equivalent.

Total yarn weight: 640g Premier Anti pilling worsted

5mm hook

I’ve used a fold over border to encase wobbly edges and give a neat finish, similar to a quilt binding.
