Crochet Little Boy Blue Baby Blanket
This blanket is a redesign of my Hugs & Kisses Baby Crochet Blanket. Many of you wrote to me saying how much you loved the texture but didn't like the chevron style. Also, many wanted a border, so this one has an interesting border added. So you can enjoy the texture of the blanket without the stress of the chevron.
The title of Little Boy Blue Blanket was just a fun name. The colours are subjective to your own creativity and wishes.
I used 2 ½ Caron Big Cakes in Blue Macaron for this pretty blue blanket. The blanket could be easily made bigger by using multiples of 6 + 4. The finished size of this one is 32" x 39". You can also substitute your favourite worsted weight yarn in any colour combo or solid if you prefer.
Colour Play Options
You can decide to colour play the project instead of just letting the colours come out of a Caron Big Cake. Those colour options are shown here at listed in the free download pattern as well. I used Caron One Pound with Soft Pink, Soft Sage, Sky Blue and Cream.

Hi I am trying to complete the border rows of this gorgeous blanket and hoped to find out if I am doing it correctly. When doing row 4 mine is doubling over rows 2 & 3 and has a seperate edging, will row 5 connect these if I am doing this right?! Thank you!
Mikey says
I'm sorry. I don't know what you mean by doubling over. Can you take some photos for us and email us as [email protected]. Be sure to share with us what's going wrong so it reminds us of your issue. It's hard to know from a texting point of view without seeing a photo of the issue. - Michael

Is there any link to the yarn/colors used in the blanket shown? I'm trying to find the same colors as I love this but am having a difficult time matching them. I love the color combinations of blues, taupe and cream but color matching on a screen is difficult.
Thanks so much.

Unfortunately, it's the yarn is exclusive to Michaels Stores. Michael's Stores have a GEO tag on their website. Meaning, if I provide you a link and you are not in Canada, the link will produce a coding error. Same thing that if I give you a USA Store link, it errors here in Canada. I'm sorry, we tend not to link to Michaels as it produces a coding error and is beyond our control.
