For my eleventh year, I will be making & collecting handmade baby blankets for needy mothers of newborns. This rewarding project keeps everyone busy through the cold, snowy days of winter. If you are interested in donating a blanket or two,
please email me.
Thanks,
Colleen

Perfect pattern if you have a limited amount of yarn since you start in the middle. This blanket is smaller – great for a car seat.

No pattern for this blanket. I just combined alternating rows of the bead stitch and triple crochet stitches. Directions for the bead stitch are below.

I made up my own pattern with the bead stitch and alternating rows of single crochet, half double crochet and triple crochet. I used up most of my scraps of blues throwing in an off white row here and there.

I made this beautiful rainbow blanket with scrap yarns from my stash bin using the double crochet stitch and a different color for every row. Adding rows of white here and there seems to pull all the various colors together.

I love the bead stitch so I made up my own pattern using it. I started with a chain of 120 then alternated with rows of the bead stitch, half double crochet, triple crochet and half double crochet. Repeat these 4 pattern rows until your baby blanket is large enough.

I saw this stitch on TV and decided to use it for a baby blanket. The pattern is simple: 2 half double crochets in the same stitch then skip the next stitch. I crocheted a decorative border using the bead stitch!
