Block Stitch Blanket Tutorial

Written by admin in

Crocheting is an art form that transcends generations, weaving memories and warmth into every stitch. For those seeking a new and captivating project, the Block Stitch Blanket stands as a testament to the limitless possibilities of crochet. In this tutorial, we will embark on a creative journey, exploring the techniques and steps to create a mesmerizing Block Stitch Blanket.

I thoroughly enjoyed creating this block stitch pattern. The interplay of double crochet stitches and chain 2 spaces results in a stunning final piece that closely resembles a granny stitch.

This adaptable stitch lends itself well to crafting a lovely scarf or virtually any other item. However, my personal preference was to incorporate it as a delightful variation in a traditional double crochet baby blanket. Its utilization of basic stitches makes it perfect for crocheters of all expertise levels.

Block Stitch Blanket Crochet Pattern:

Begin by creating a foundation chain of 115 stitches using the color white.

Row 1: Single crochet in the second chain from the hook and in the next stitch. Chain 2, skip 2 chains, single crochet in the next chain across until one stitch remains. Single crochet in the last chain. Chain 1 and turn. (This results in 37 chain-2 spaces)

Row 2: Double crochet in the first stitch. Work 3 double crochet stitches into each chain-2 space across. Double crochet in the last stitch. Chain 1 and turn. (This forms 37 clusters with 2 double crochet stitches on each end, totaling 113 double crochet stitches)

Note: When working into a chain-2 space, insert the hook under the chain-2 space, not into the actual chain stitches.

Border Instructions:

Round 1: Using the white yarn, single crochet evenly around the entire blanket. In each corner, work single crochet, chain 2, single crochet. Slip stitch to the top of the first stitch to join and chain 1.

Round 2: Half double crochet in each stitch around the blanket. In the corners, work half double crochet, chain 2, half double crochet in each chain-2 space. Slip stitch to the top of the first stitch to join. Cut the yarn and weave in ends.

Round 3: Join the River Ripple yarn. Single crochet evenly around the entire blanket. Work 3 single crochet stitches in each chain-2 space. Slip stitch to the top of the first stitch to join. Cut the yarn and weave in ends.
