Lace Crochet Baby Blanket Pattern Details

Make this super easy and cute lace crochet baby blanket in no time at all!

This super cute stitch combination is easy to memorise so it will be flying off your hook in no time.

The stitch pattern combines lotus stitch with plain double crochet stitches. This creates both open lace work with texture in the puff stitches.

The whole pattern repeats over just two rows so you don’t have to worry about memorising a large pattern repeat.

The blanket is also fully customisable to any size you wish. You need to adjust the starting chain in order to change the width of the blanket – the stitch multiple is 10 + 3.

As for the length, all you need to do is repeat as many rows as you need until you reach the desired length ending with row 2.

The border is kept simple as the main body of the blanket combines texture and lace. I incorporated some back post treble crochet and puff stitches in the corners just to break up the plain border a little.
