Crochet Striped Baby Blanket
I could resist giving the new Bernat Blanket Stripes yarn a try to make this Crochet Striped Baby Blanket. With some yarns, I think simple patterns are better to show off the yarn. I crocheted this striped baby blanket using the yarn just how it came out of the cake. If you look close, you can see the color changes happening in the middle of most of the rows, but overall, it just looks like a planned blanket. The best part, a lovely striped piece with very few ends to weave in!
I used only 3 cakes to complete this 36" x 45" baby sized blanket. This works up super fast and is cuddly soft.

I’m making this pattern using a different yarn than used in this pattern. I’m using a size H hook. The ends are curling. Am I crocheting too tight? Am I using too small a hook?
Mikey says
The tension is too tight if it's curly. Increase your hook size to be a bit bigger. I'm unsure of the yarn you are using but move up to a 5.5 mm or 6 mm (I OR J) and see if that makes a difference.

I have ripped it out twice. Is the beginning chain 92 OR 93? I keep coming up short on the 1st row. I have no last chain to sc in.
jamie says
I had the same problem...I did 93 and it worked out
Nat says
I was fine on the first row, where I got messed up was on doing row 2 the first time. When I got to the end I was one stitch short! Incase anyone else ended up with this issue maybe ya did what I did! I misread the pattern for row 1 and didn't put *2 sc* into the 2nd chain from hook, I only put 1 sc before continuing on with the pattern, so be careful! Those of ya who mentioned ended up one ch short at the end of row 1, maybe ya put 1 sc each into the 2nd and 3rd chains from the hook rather than 2sc into the 2nd chain from hook! Just hoping to help people learn from my mix up!

Hello Jeanne and The Crochet Crowd:
As I would like to make this lovely patterned blanket much larger would you please let me know what the pattern repeat is for this patten.
Thank you.
Pamela.
Cathy Smith says
Love this pattern. I have made 2 so far. I would like to make it in a queen size. I think I figured it out but would like to confirm how man stitches for each repeat. I think it is 13 stitches. Would anyone be able to confirm this.
Jennifer Smith says
Hi Cathy, I was wondering if anyone ever answered this question?
Mikey says
I peak through comments every few days. What is the question?
Jennifer Smith says
To make this bigger do you add 13 stitches?
Mikey says
I'm not sure. The multiples are unknown. I will see if Jeanne can circle back to figure it out.
Nat says
She was asking how to make it larger (queen size) and what the stitch repeat count was in order to do so
Mikey says
It appears Jeanne hasn't recorded that information. So I don't have an answer for that.
We do have another Bernat Blanket Chevron Blanket... http://thecrochetcrowd.com/crochet-grey-scale-blanket-tutorial/ That is Multiples of 14+3. Hopefully that helps.
