Pastel Colorblock Baby Blanket

This sweet baby blanket is crocheted with Lion Brand Baby Soft in a soft pastel palette of blue, petal pink, lemonade yellow, and mint green. Each of the 49 blocks—12 in each color, with 13 in blue—is worked from the center out in Basic Moss Stitch, creating a beautifully balanced layout with a gentle diagonal flow of color. A delicate shell‑stitch border frames the blanket for a classic, heirloom‑style finish. Made with lightweight #3 yarn, the blanket is soft, durable, and fully machine washable, making it perfect for everyday cuddles, nursery décor, and thoughtful handmade gifts.

For best results, purchase two skeins of each color to ensure matching dye lots and to allow flexibility if you prefer a larger finished size.
