    Abrielle Baby Blanket - Free Crochet Blanket Pattern

    May 21, 2021 by Jennifer Renaud

    The Abrielle Baby Blanket combines classic knit-look and textured crochet stitch patterns for an heirloom quality baby blanket with a beautiful drape. Achieve two different looks with one design simply by using two colors to create wide stripes or one color to create a solid color blanket. This classic crochet baby blanket is perfect for snuggling your precious bundle of joy. It also makes the perfect gift for baby showers. You can find the free crochet pattern for the Abrielle Baby Blanket in this post below, or an ad-free print friendly version on Love Crafts here, Ravelry here, or on Etsy here.

    Shortly after I taught myself to crochet, I fell in love with knit-look crochet.  I can’t knit a stitch to save my life so I’m always trying to incorporate stitches or stitch patterns into my designs that resemble knit stitches. The Abrielle Baby Blanket combines the easiest knit-look crochet stitch and a favorite textured stitch pattern of mine. I crocheted my baby blanket using two colors of yarn to create a wide striped blanket, but it's also gorgeous in a solid color.

    YARN

    For this Lapghan, I chose Lion Brand Yarn’s Vanna’s Choice in White & Sea Glass. Vanna’s Choice is a great worsted weight acrylic yarn that’s available in 54 colors! You’ll have a hard time choosing colors, but this crochet baby blanket will look great in any and every color combination!

    Abrielle Baby Blanket Instructions

    Tip 1: Make sure not to work your sl sts and ch-1's too tightly as it can greatly affect the gauge and overall size of your blanket. Check out my video tutorial HERE for several tips and tricks!

    Tip 2: If you're having trouble keeping gauge between the 2 sections, try adjusting your hook size up or down. One of my pattern testers found it helpful to go down a hook size for the textured sections.

      Hi Jane,

      You can increase in multiples of 2. And you are correct, the yardage per color on the Lion Brand website is incorrect. It should be corrected now, but you'll use almost equal amounts of each color.
