Crochet Rainbow Stripes Baby Blanket

May 15, 2017 by Ashleigh


I’ve got the most fun, beginner friendly tutorial for you today, and it’s the perfect thing for every baby!

I’m loving that the trend right now is everything rainbow – it makes the unicorn fairy princess 5 year old inside me SO happy.

My son may be almost 1 already (where did that time go?) but he’s already loving his blanket – just look at the smile on that face. Heart. Melted.

PATTERNS I LOVE (& you should too)

1. Crochet Homemaker Gingham Throw / 2. Crochet Everyday Cardigan / 3. Crochet Le Nuage Wrap/Triangle Scarf

And if you crochet already, you’ll whiz through this blanket like  a pro – you won’t believe how simple it is.

Let’s get going!

Materials:

-Bernat Blanket Yarn in white and lemon lime (the baby blanket line), purple, blue, yellow, orange, and pink (the bernat blanket brights line) – you can also use just 1 full ball each of white and another color!

-P/Q 15mm crochet hook

(Click HERE to see all my favorite tools at amazing prices!)

My color sequence:

-Hot pink

-White

-Orange

-White

-Yellow

-White

-Lemon Lime (green)

-White

-Blue

White

-Purple

-White

With your first color Ch 47, Sc in 2nd and across, Ch 1, turn (46)

Row 2: Sc across, Ch 1, turn (46)

*-Color change

Row 3-4: Sc across, Ch 1, turn (46)

Repeat from * until you’ve repeated the sequence above or have 48 rows (Basically make 2 rows of Sc in each color above & work the sequence twice!)

*Note: I carry my white yarn up the side of my blanket so that I don’t have as many ends to weave. I don’t carry my colors to avoid tangling because I’m using so many!

-Weave all colored ends

Row 49: Sc in each st around the perimeter of the blanket, work 3 Sc in each corner, sl st to join, finish off and weave ends

I hope you love your new baby blanket! What colors are you using? Comment below!
