Baby Monet Blanket

This adorable Baby Monet Blanket is the perfect size for a stroller, car seat, bassinet or crib. You could even change the colors and omit the flowers for a boy’s blanket since the stitches aren’t particularly feminine. This is definitely one of those patterns that you could use again and again!

Any size 5 bulky weight yarn will work with this pattern. You can also make a larger blanket simply by adjusting your foundation chain (starting chain) to have a multiple of 3 plus 1. You will need a L/11 (8.00 mm) crochet hook for the main blanket and an I/9 (5.25 mm) crochet hook for the flower appliques, which are optional.

The Baby Monet Blanket uses alternating rows of the X-stitch and single crochets.

This pattern is written in standard American crochet terms.
