- This blanket is probably something you won't see everyday. It looks hard to make but it's easy to complete. This blanket can be made as large or small as you like. You can make this into a baby blanket, throw, full size blanket, or even king size blanket. You choose the size by simply following the instructions given in the video to reach your desired width and length. There is no need to be able to read patterns to complete this project. It is great for all ages. The blanket features 2 colors. The pattern looks almost like an open weave. Follow along with me and complete one for yourself or a loved one. Only simple stitches used. Most complicated is a picot, which I demonstrate for you. This pattern can also be used for scarfs, headbands, blankets, shawls, throws, blankets, etc. Great for women, boys, men, or whoever likes to be warm and cozy. This pattern uses basic stitches such as the chain and double crochet.

I first watched this eight years ago, and it is still my favorite stitch. It's so simple and cute. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Love this blanket! I also watched 8 years ago & it just became my favorite! I have used it so many times on different projects.❤
I love your tutorials. They are easy to follow. You have awesome patterns. I enjoy making them. I'm so glad you keep coming up with new ones. Thank you so much. Have a great day!
You are an amazing teacher!!!! I have bought books and attended classes but this is SO much better. Bless you for taking YOUR time to help others. :)
Hi Yolanda! I just started crocheting three months ago! I have a grandson due next month, and thanks to your AWESOME videos, I have made the blanket, baby hat, and sweater and they came out fantastic! I made the same set in pink for a friend having a girl and she thought I was a pro! I've also made your penguin hat! Thank you for providing great videos that are easy to follow! You rock!
This is my new favorite blanket stitch. Thank you!
I have made this blanket twice before and am beginning my third one. It is easy, fast and makes a beautiful gift. Thank you.
so here is my update, I ended up having to start the whole thing over, so I wanted a huge blanket to cover my nephew's car seat, so I chained 200 and have 56 3"s of dc, total in love with the result and it is different from all the other patterns I have seen and also thick, which is awesome, thanks again.
Made the blanket and hat for a friends baby shower and she loved it. Thank for your time in sharing all your patterns.
wonderful video, just the right speed , good instructions and good diction!!!!
Agreed! I love it too.
This is the fourth time I knit this beautiful blanket, I have a bounch of blanket videos, but always come here for the same! Thank you Yolanda for a wonderful, beautiful tutorial 😊
I;m so glad that you are enjoying this pattern. It's also one of my favorites
This was my first pattern I made. I retired and had 2 granddaughter to watch, but cartoons were to much,so I took up crocheting 10 years ago. Thank you for your CZcams. I have my own craft room now crocheting blankets and amigurumi. My craft room has way over 600 skeins of yarn 70 different colors, and numerous different types of crochet hooks. I owe you for my crocheting fun. Thanks for everything. Richard
hi i watched the blacket but cannot see how you did the six it jumped from
The video that you posted to show us the full tutorial of the border is a link to how to finish a sweater. Could you please correct the link so that I can finish my blanket.
that is the same way you would finish the blanket. That shows how the corners are done which is the same.
I have made many blankets off of your pattern Yolanda, thank you so much for sharing. We have a baby Blanket Ministry at our church that we make baby blankets for the local hospital and everytime I use your pattern I just get so many compliments, it's an easy pattern to do and it's beautiful. Whatever color combinations I use it has turned out beautiful. We received yarn in 2016 from one of the local Christian schools for their Community project it was a kindergarten class and one of the yarns that was gift to us was apple red and no one in the group wanted to try to make a baby blanket out of it so I kept looking at it and kept looking at it and finally decided to use your pattern and do it with the red and the green border for Christmas I came up with some holly leaves and berries and it turned out the cutest. Thank you once again for sharing your patterns this is one of my favorites. God bless you always. Gloria
I thank you so much for your wonderful tutorails. Days when I am alone , it is so nice to hear your voice and watch and learn new patterns. I love to crochet and learned back in the '70s but only basic stitches. being able to watch and listen and pause your videos as needed, it is as if you are here with me.... I think. how nice that would be!
Hi Yolanda. How did you do 6 in the corner? the 1st yellow row after the white please? Something is missing on the video?
I noticed that too something is missing in the video
Hi Miss Yolanda. I was wondering if you could show how you did the increases to 6 in the corner. It seems that you left that out. Or, if someone here can tell me how to do it I would really appreciate it as I am making this as a baby gift. Thanks!
Yeah I missed that too.
Yeah, we didn't miss anything! She never said anything about six in the corner, until she said we'r don't do that anymore!
Yolanda, you are a very gifted teacher of crochet. I love your videos and learn a lot from you. Thank you for being there for all of us who need a bit of help at times and for the different things you show us how to do. Thanks again, Betty Lynn
***** God Bless you too Yolanda!!!
You do a very nice job teaching your technique. I like the way you teach it without talking down to your viewer, unlike some others on here. Thank you.
Are the directions written somewhere also?
Hi Yolanda, I really love this blanket and am currently making a version. That said, I wonder if you are aware that you are missing a section of instruction? I have gone back about 10 ten times, and it is definitely not there. I'm speaking about the first row of yellow around the edge, which includes the increase (to six in corners) that you mention later, when doing the second row. The video jumps from first row of white edge, to second row of white. Anyhow, as I'm a fairly advanced hooker, I can sort of figure this out by catching glimpses as you hold the work up, and working it out myself. Just thought that some beginners might be a bit confused and thought I should bring it to your attention.
I wish we could get that missing part I did 6 in the corner for two rows after white maybe need more rows
I'm going to make this as a prayer shawl - the repeating threes are perfect!
This was the very first blanket pattern I did when learning to crochet years ago. Made all my kids a big bed blanket with it using chunky wool in UK and size 6 hook. Such an esy pattern and grows quickly. Easy to put any border on as well. Thank you Yolande!
I think a part of the video is missing. You said you will not do six in the corner any more...bit I dont recall anywhere you said 6 in the corner (15:15)
Please help.
Same here.
Hi Yolanda I love the blaket but there is one section missing with the row of six increase in the corner I am quite confusedat how you end the row. It would be nice if you could tell me how to do that.
If you look at the pictures shown on www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/unique-stitch-baby-blanket you can get an idea of where the 6 stitches come into the pattern.. I found the same issue when I made this and thankfully found the pictures helpful :)
Thanks for the wonderful blanket tutorial, Yolanda! I've been trying to find a fast simple blanket pattern that looks pretty to make for my mom and sister-in-law for Christmas this year. I think this is a great gift for any age, and if I use a Bernat Blanket chunky yarn, I think it will be a soft and warm throw for the winter months. Thanks again, love your videos!
This is a really beautiful stitch. I made a blanket using 120 stitches with various colors from left over yarn....came out great. I didn't finish off using the Picot stitch. I just used the chain three method. It was easy! At first I thought it was hard, but after watching the video a couple of times, I got going. Thank you so much!
I feel like there is a step missing. I just finished the first row of the white and it seem and feels like there is a whole step missing. I see the white then more yellow then you are finishing with the final row but what do you do in between the first row of white and the last?
I agree there IS a step (or two) missing ... very confusing to me, I hope they fix it.
I eneded up improvising
Grace Lemon
I c it 2, missing a step, white then yellow, didn't say anything about the yellow n white again but doing the last roll in white.
Meant in yellow last roll
I really like this pattern and the video. But is it just e or is there a part missing, I totally missed the part when you did 6 DC in the corners. I watched it again and it skips that part.
I thought it was just me ... I was like why can't I follow this. The corners section plays a big part of me finishing the blanket. I kinda did a work around but my blanket didn't lay flat.
So happy to have found this year's ago. I just finished making a blanket for my newest grandbaby today. I love it!
I just finished making this blanket for my to-be-born grandson. It looks so beautiful. I am going to go ahead and make the matching sweater and cap too. Thanks a lot for making this video. It was a perfect video with detailed and easy to follow instructions. I am so glad I found your video. Way to go Yolanda!
The whole section after the first white row is not there!
skip the add
Um, at minute 14:34 you've just finished the first white row, then at 14:35 there's already a row of yellow edging, and a second row of white edging. What do I do in the first yellow edge row??!! Where do I do this "6 in the corner"?
I am wondering the same thing. I keep watching it over and over and I cant figure that part out
I've been watching trying to figure this out too... I'm lost, what did we miss?
After watching the video, you are simply slip stitching your yellow back in at the corner once you finish the first white row which is your chain 3 and single crochet like in Row 2. The yellow row is the same as Row 3 except you are crocheting 6 double crochet in each of the 4 corners to make it rounder instead of pointy square corners. Then you switch back to the white (Row 3). You keep switching back and forth until you are ready for the last row of the yellow - then instead of 6 double crochet in the corner you work 3 double crochet in each corner. Then you follow the instructions for the picot stitch trim. Does that help to you?
Yeah I probably won't be watching any more of her videos - I think it's in poor taste to give the whole pattern in the video and then quit 3 rows from the end.
wealthpossibilities yes i agree especially when i'm almost done making this blanket as a present for a baby shower and now i'm lost... i am literally sitting here with my yarns and crochet hook and just finished the outer row of my second colour...
I made this about a year ago for a friend's son. I made it a bit bigger, in light and dark green and it came out beautiful! Now that I have an account here I just wanted to say thank you so much for sharing!
I've made this little blanket several times and it is always very much appreciated. Everyone thinks it is so pretty. Thank you Yolanda, I love your videos!
When do u put 6 DC in the corners?
In the sample swatch she did you do the 6 DC (yellow) in each corner in the row immediately following the first white row. So after the white row that is really Row 2 around the entire blanket you change to the yellow row which is Row 3 but doing 6 DC in the corners.
thank you
Rosa Schneider you are very welcome.
Thank You
I think she wants to sell the pattern for $5.50
I watched this video some many times and I still keep feeling that there is something I'm missing. Is there an undated video for this blanket?
I love the simplicity of this little blanket. Can't wait to start. Thank you.
love this,it's so easy !! even for someone relatively new to crochet .Not to fast and easy to follow
Are there directions missing for the two rows around the edge? It seems to jump from the first white trim to past the two outer rows?
Lucille Ettore OK-I found how to do those last two rows under a video for the matching baby sweater in case anyone else needs it.
Lucille Ettore can you share the link for the edge please
Teresa Droke Vaughn Yolanda put the link in a comment above here. I had to go to the you tube video for the baby sweater in the same pattern. I am not that tech savey to put the link here. Check under you tube for Yolanda for the baby sweater if you do not see her link put above here one week ago. Good luck! There are more than one you tube videos for the sweater, you may have to see which one it is-I think it says something like "missing".

I'm doing this blanket for my grandson due in October. I'm almost done. I just started the second color, and as a lot of other viewers I don't see anywhere in this video you showing the 6 in the corners. And like others around minute 14:00 in the video there is already a few rows of white in the blanket. You skipped a lot in the finishing part of this project. I'm very disappointed that you will not answer your viewers questions. I'll figure this out on my own and will not be following your work anymore.
Hi Kimberly V. I read what you wrote and I feel you, but I managed to find the answer to the question we all were asking. She answer only in another segment that was included the sweater she posted. But I went even further and went to her Ravelry page and seen pictures of the six in the corner and was able to continue to go on from there. Just click the pic and you can see what she did. Here's the link. www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/unique-stitch-baby-blanket
Kimberly V know
Kimberly V .... I have followed the pattern several times... I hear you....aways always just 3.... I think she meant to say-its Not like most other patterns, which is usually 6 or their specified amount of stitches in a corner....corners can be a little tricky just a bit of a looser hold will make the corners lay flat.... Try Again....you will Love the end result...Hope this helps and you have finished a blanket... really Beautiful results
I didn't do the white outer edge just the 2 white inside the last part of blanket. Loved the way it turned out.
basket weave stitch
I kept this video for years, and finally decided to make the blanket 2 months ago. I followed your instructions for the FIRST edging of the contrasting color. I was confused after that round. I just took a close look at your blanket and finally figured out there was no instruction for making the corners. I didn't know what you meant by "no more 6 in the corner". Somehow I improvised and finished it. Now I'm making it again, and after I go around one time with my contrasting color, I will pick up my original color and go around with double crochets and a corner of 6.
Thank you for the pattern.
I made this blanket about 8 months ago when I was still pregnant and my son now loves it. The blanket keeps its shape and once washed a few times it is soooo soft! I also made a matching beanie; same pattern! Thank you Yolanda
so yes - there are rows missing - it seems that after the white row (min' 14:40) you continued with a yellow row which is 3dc in each gap - BUT there are 6 in the corners, but i dont know if there is any row between them (meaning 3dc + eyes + 3dc) or 6dc and that's it
and then you made another white row and another yellow with corners.
i wish it was in the tutorial, cause you spent so mach time on the begining,,, and where it gets diffrent there is a gap
thank you for your help
I too feel there is a step missing. You talk about putting six in the corners, but you don't show how you did it. Could you please demonstrate this step. I like the way it makes the blanket look, but can't figure it out. Also I saw when looking thru the comments that I'm not the only one who has noticed this oversight, but you haven't replied to any of them. Please solve this situation for us all. I just love your work, and am wanting to try more of your projects, but would like to get this one finished first. Ty, Ann
Thank you so much, Yolanda. I can actually follow you. You do such a great job explaining and showing what you do. You are great. I am so glad I found you.
All I can say its so cool looking I have never seen anyone do something like this i love the way it is stitched. I can't wait to sit down and figure out how to make it so I can make a pretty blanket.
Hi there, I don't usually comment on videos, but I have been struggling with crochet stitches as I am number dyslexic, and it seemed that no matter who I watched, or what I read, it always involved keeping count of stitches. With this video alone, I am finally able to crochet! Thank you so much for giving your time to help other people learn this skill.
This is my "go-to" pattern when I need to make a baby afghan. It works up beautifully in worsted weight and in the "baby blanket" yarn. Thank you, ma'am!
i am a somewhat beginner crocheter. i have made some baby hats with earflaps and potholders and little drawstring bags and wanted to learn a little baby blanket. you made this seem so easy and simple while being fun at the same time. i look forward to watching this over and over and having fun designing for others. thanks again.
I learned how to do this so easy from you! I love how it looks! Its a pleasure hearing you explain how its done. Thank you!
Love her work. I did pretty good on the blanket (gave Ms. Yolanda a credit), and hat. Still not enough courage to start a little baby sweater. Great instructions, great teacher! thank you!
I made this blanket for my daughter to take back to college. It was very nice and thick. An easy pattern to follow. I made it in 4 different shades of pink. I love your videos.
I have made this blanket for my grandson doing it in primarily blue with white edges it turned out AMAZING!! Now I am currently working on a white baby blanket with pink trim....I eventually want to make this in a full-size blanket, it's beautiful! Thank you for this tutorial Yolanda!
what are the co)ors of yarn
This pattern looks to be easy and fast. I'm definitely going to use this pattern to make a baby blanket for my friend. Thank you for making this video to help people.
I Wish I could post a pic of mine but I'm a beginner that only knew how to do a ripple blanket. I found this and made it happen and got amazing results. I did all pink with brown trim. And placed a brown ribbon thru the perfectly spaced clusters. Everyone loves it. So grateful to have some guidance on new patterns I can do. Thanx!!!!!
Hi Yolanda I have watched you for years and always come back to your patterns I particularly love the baby cardi made from granny squares.thankmyou for all you have shared over the years and I hope you are improving with your health.god bless you.💝💝💝
you are welcome, I'm so glad you enjoy the videos
I've just completed this blanket and its so pretty. thanks for sharing xx
Thank you for your videos you make if simple and easy to understand ! Making my 1st baby blanket with this stitch and love the white picot edging .
I am almost done with this blanket. I just fell in love with this pattern, its ease and how fast it worked up. I knocked it out in less than a week!! And also-of all the people available with crochet video's you are by far the best teacher/instructor of crochet ever!! Thank you-
I'll be watching plenty more of them for sure!!
Hi.....just want to say thank you....just made your baby blanket,hat,...love it...I have not crocheted in years. Watching your video brought it all back. Thank you again for making it look so easy.
I finished sewing in all the loose ends and now ready to do the border. I used a G hook and lincraft double knit 8ply acrylic yarn, it's only a small blanket 32 x 30. Everyone loves the pattern. Thankyou so much for sharing it.
Yolanda, I am new to crochet and I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this pattern! It is so easy to do and to keep track of. I am obsessed!
Great Pattern! I did mine 36x36 (3 skeins)(1 for trim). Love it! Thank You!
I agree. I just started crocheting and found it helpful to use a contrast color yard as a marker for the ends. I could not tell when I reached the last loop so I sewed in a contrast small piece of yarn and it helped tons!!
I am so thrilled to be able to watch your tutorials on everything you make. I've always known how to do the stitches but had a problem following directions. I guess I'm from Missouri because I have to be shown. I have made 5 scarfs, 4 hats, 2 neck warmers, and flowers and now I'm making this blanket. Thank you so much I appreciate all you do.
I believe this is a "brick stitch". I'm a beginner and finally someone explains it as they film it, thanks for the clarity!! No one else explains it right. Thanks so much!!!
I am using this pattern to make my dad a camoflauge throw for Christmas . I really like the design . I am a crochet beginner . I have made baby blanket and my son a throw using granny square. I would have used this pattern had I known before hand . I was only shown granny square . So glad I found ur tutorial on u tube . Great job !!
I LOVE the way this looks! I watched the vid and now I'm ready to tackle it! Thanks for sharing your talents!!
Thank you Yolanda! I can't read a pattern but your video made it so I don't have to! I watch and rewind as I get through each row and am almost done with a pink and grey blanket. I decided to do a gray row of slip stitch every 15 rows and it looks amazing. I'll post photos when done!
I just started making this blanket today! Making it for my grand daughter Veronica, who is due to make her appearance September 16th 2014! Im making mine with red heart super saver in pretty pink and white! I will post a video of it when im done. I want to thank you so very much for all the hard work that you put into these tutorial videos for us crochet junkies. I have learned so much from you! You are very much appreciated, God bless you!
love love Love!! this pattern thanks Yolanda now let's get the party started!!
Made this blanket for friends baby shower and everyone loved it.. Thanks a lot
You are a amazing woman... i have learn everything from your videos... i did only knitted but now i crochet too thank u
Grazie, Yolanda, for your easy to understand directions. I'm making a baby blanket sitting near you, my teacher. Grazie mille. You are an excellent teacher.
I've just finished this blanket in a pink with a white border and it turned out AMAZING. Thank you so so much. I love all your tutorials, so easy to follow. :)
I just finished my blanket using your pattern and it came out perfect, EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank yoi so much. I did , however, use a smaller hook 3.75 mm and light baby yarn, the incr. of 3 were spot on!!
I can’t believe this video is 11 years old! I used this pattern to make a baby blanket for my baby and now I’m making another one for my friend ❤
Thank you Yolanda, you make it so easy to follow. I am a grandmother who iis trying to continue passing down to my grands the love of being able to make things on your own two hands
I love your videos Yolanda, they are very clear. I love your projects and patterns, now I'm going to try this one.
Hi,
I am new to crochet .I made this blanket for my 2 year old.
Thank you Yolanda for your wonderful tutorial.
You are a good teacher. You explain everything.
I love this pattern...nice and easy so you can watch tv too! I like the contrast colour too and the picot finishes it off nicely. Thanks for this x
This is my favorite baby blanket. I have made one for each of my 5 great granddaughters. Love, love, love this pattern. I have put different borders on each so they would be a little different. Thank you Hope you are feeling better. You are still in my prayers ❤️🙏🙏❤️
I have been wanting to crochet this blanket for years, and finally, I'm starting one and I'm in love with this pattern!
Better late than never. I know you're going to love it
Yolanda, you are really beautiful and you've got a very sweet smile. The blanket will be my next attempt and challenge. Thanks to your shawl, I learnt to hold a crochet hook and crochet. Thanks for your FREE VIDEO TUTORIALS and for giving me a chance to learn. Words aint enough to express my gratitude. Sorry for the repeated THANKS!!! Thanks for sharing. Hugs xxx
I love this pattern. I’ve made a baby blanket and also love it a a smaller dishrag.
Thank you Yolanda, love this blanket, just about to start my 3rd one. this one will be pink and lilac
This is great! I've never done a blanket before. I'm thinking of making a throw for my mom. Thank you Yolanda!
Yolanda, as usual you have made things so simple to follow, I look like a Rock Star with my beginner crafts! THANK YOU!!! I will send you pics once done. You are a pleasure to listen to, and to watch!
I'm going to be making a huge blanket for my king size bed. I have been looking for a great unique stitch as this. Thank you so much for being detailed in your explanation because I'm not the most skilled crocheter, and this video is so easy to follow along too. Thank you!!!!
Just wanted to say that you are a life saver. A coworker friend has a daughter that is expecting and I did not know what type of pattern to make a baby blanket with. I bought a yarn that is multi colored and I just started the foundation of this video. It looks beautiful and yet I am no where near finished lol....thank you!
this is a great stitch love the way you made it look so easy to do , thank you for taking time to share the tips, love it
I made a placement out of this pattern. I made a little difference for the edging. Thank you for sharing your ideas.
This is great. I am going to use this for my next baby blanket. I have a pretty yellow I'm going to use. While I don't mind changing colors I wanted this one to be a solid color. This is perfect.
I did this sample along with your video a couple of times and now I'm starting to make a blanket. Thanks so much for a simple and pretty pattern as well as the great tutorial video.
Thank U!!! made 1 for a baby shower and then made another for another newborn, beautiful! You're a great teacher!
This is my favorite pattern for newborn blankets. I'm working on my third blanket using your pattern. I've gotten a lot of compliments on it. Thank you.
Hello. I am seeing from Japan.
It is a great and just very cute piece!
I do not speak only Japanese I made a larger blanket while watching the video.
Thank you all!
