Crochet Baby blanket

Simple baby blanket pattern

You can use any size hook, or yarn for this. In the blanket above I was using a P hook and two strands of medium sport weight yarn held together.

To start
Chain as many as it takes to make the length of the blanket

Row 1
SC into each chain, Turn

Row 2
SC into each stitch, chain 2, Turn

Row 3
HDC into each stitch, chain 3, Turn

Row 4 - 20 (the number of rows can be changed to fit how wide you want the blanket)
DC into each stitch, Chain 3, Turn

Row 21
DC into each Stitch, Chain 2, Turn

Row 22
HDC into each stitch, Turn

Row 23
SC into each stitch, turn

Row 24 SC into each stitch, tie off at end of last stitch, weave in all ends


The edging can be any or none, I choose a simple edging that I liked, any would do, fringe, tassels, scalloped, any thing you find nice or just leave plain.

Crochet Shawl Pattern

This is my first attempt at writing a pattern for crochet. It is a very simple easy pattern.

I am using two strands held together, bother are a light sports weight. You can adjust this pattern to go with any kind of yarn I think by just adding or decreasing rows. If you are using a bulky or super bulky weight yarn, one strand would do fine. I am using a P/11.50 mm crochet hook.

To start chain 4, then sl stitch in the first ch to form a ring

Row 1
*SC into the center of the ring, DC into the center of the ring* repeat 2 times, then finish with a SC and chain 3, CH will be the first DC in the next row
Row 2
SC into same stitch as the CH, *DC in next stitch, SC in following stitch* Repeat until last stitch, DC in the chain 3 space and SC in same space, chain 3 turn.

Repeat row 2 until shawl has reached the size you are looking for.

You can add fringe or tassels, or any edging that you like to finish the shawl, or nothing at all.

I will post pic once mine is complete.
If I have made any mistakes, let me know, very first time at trying to write a pattern.
