This easy to crochet design uses self-striping yarn (see below) or you can easily substitute yarn from your stash for a stash-busting blanket! Just be sure to size the appropriate hook size to the yarn chosen. Here's more information on this design:
This colorful baby blanket is crocheted in the round using self-striping yarn that does all the work! It features a 2 stitch basketweave pattern that gives a lovely colorful texture that will keep the baby's fingers and eyes very happy! This baby blanket is completely reversible.

Just found you. Thank you so much for the left hand stitching. Great rainbow
Welcome to my channel!
Do you make 2 of everything because you do right handed and left handed projects?
No, I make only 1 video but re-edit a second version with flipped images for the left-handed ones. I honestly can't do much with my left hand!
@@BonnieBayCrochet oh cool idea
Can I make this for a Queen size blanket
You can but it will be a square. Just continue in pattern stitch!😊
I'm always looking for new continuous crochet blankets that don't gave big gaps, as I crochet preemie blankets for Project Linus Canada, and I need a break from Moss stitch blankets so thank you for this!
I have a couple of questions - will this work well using all regular DC rather than the post stitches? Secondly, why does the first stitch have to be a chain 2, rather than just another stitch?
My last question - can you turn your work after each row? I find my blankets are less skewed if I switch directions. Sorry for all the questions!
You would need to make some changes to the corners if making this in straight dc. I prefer using the ch-2, but you can use an extended stitch to start the round if you prefer. You can turn after each round, but that would affect the color change a bit depending on the type of yarn you choose to use.
@@BonnieBayCrochet thank you so much. I tend to have trouble stitching into a chain, I would not have thought of using an extended instead! I will give that a try!
@@cathymartin3379 be sure to follow the first several rounds since they are not all the same. Sometimes the chain counts as a stitch, and sometimes it does not in this design.
@@BonnieBayCrochetif I do try this with regular DC instead of using post stitches, what changes would I need to make in the corners as you mentioned, or just follow your corners and do the sides with regular DC?
😢 I am right handend
Dont worry. She always posts both versions. Wait few more minutes 😊
