How to Make a Dainty Dot Unisex Crochet Baby Blanket Pattern

Supplies

PATTERN

Abbreviations – US Terms

special stitch -even berry crochet – yo insert your hook into the space, yo, pull through, yo, and pull through 1 loop on the hook. Then, yo, insert your hook into the same designated space again, yo, pull through, yo, and pull through all 5 loops on the hook.

For the even berry stitch, you need a single crochet stitch between each of the even berry stitches.

You also need to alternate with a row between each of the even berry rows otherwise (or an odd number of rows) the texture will not be on the same side.

You can make a larger or smaller blanket by using an even number +3 for the chain.

I ran my stripes vertical instead of across if you want to do them horizontal chain 51 instead and repeat the rows until you have used all your yarn, trying to end with 1 row of double crochet.

American Standard Baby Blanket Sizes Crochet

  • Lovey: 14 in x 14 in – great for cuddling (35.56 cm)
  • Large Lovey: 20 in x 20 in – great for cuddling and covering a newborn in the car seat (50.8 cm)
  • Preemie Blanket: 18 in x 18 in (45.72 cm)
  • Receiving Blanket: 30 in x 30 in – a great size for a newborn (76.2 cm)
  • Baby Blanket: 29 in x 35 in – a great size for a new baby with room to grow (73.66 cm x 88.9 cm)
  • Swaddling Blanket: 40 in x 40 in- for wrapping a newborn up tight usually made of gauze or flannel (101.6 cm) but a lightweight yarn would work
  • Crib: 45 in x 60 in (114.3 cm x 152.4 cm) – a great blanket size for growing into, toddlers, or a throw for older children

Of course, these sizes are just standard blanket sizes and you wan make them to fix your needs and size. My size choice also depends on how much yarn I have left and the repeat of the pattern.

I hope this helps you decide what size of baby blanket to crochet.
