Dots baby blanket

Here’s a way to make a fun and colorful baby blanket out of Tunisian crochet squares. For extra whimsy, sew on eyes or other little details to turn the dots into curious or happy creatures.

Use bright, contrasting colors to capture the attention of your little ones.

This blanket is intended to be used as a play mat, swaddling blanket or stroller blanket, not as a crib blanket. Adding a backing makes it extra sturdy.

Use cotton, linen or a bamboo-acrylic mix for a soft and easy to care for blanket. Customize the size and color of the blanket to suit your tastes.

Use many colors mixed together or a few colors and a common contrasting color, use a variegated yarn for the dots and a neutral, single color for the squaring, the possibilities are endless.

Skill level: Enthusiastic beginner - you work with one type of Tunisian crochet stitch, short rows, seaming.
