Crocheting a simple baby blanket

For knitting, alternating double crochets and air loops are used. The finished fabric looks like a mesh through which you can thread threads of different colors. The result is a beautiful and elegant product.

You can also try knit a similar product, but complicate the process itself a little. To do this, colored threads are not threaded into the mesh, but tied. So let's get started. The first row of the mesh is knitted with the main thread, for the second row colored yarn is used and you need to knit a row with single crochets. Where the threads join, there is no need to trim the ends, but rather, leave them longer so that you can tie a tassel later. The entire blanket is knitted in this sequence, up to a certain length.

The good thing about the option using two colors is that the product can be knitted from leftover yarn. The tassels on the product can be made either single-color or colored.

The finished product turns out very beautiful, and its density directly depends on the thickness of the threads.

Knitting in the round

This product has a square shape because knit in the round from the middle. It can have different sizes, depending on the age of the child and your preferences. For a children's blanket, you can use both single-color threads and multi-colored ones. The finished product, knitted from threads with a gradient effect, looks beautiful. You can independently choose bright threads for such a product, there is only one motive.

The heart is knitted from the middle, in the round.

The work begins with five air loops connected in a circle. The second row is knitted with double crochets, and two air loops are knitted at future corners. The next row consists of simple stitches above each loop, and in the corners they must be knitted from two air loops of the previous row - three.

The next row is more difficult than the previous ones. To lift, three chain stitches are cast on, then three double crochets are knitted from three stitches and joined together. Next are two air loops and the same combination. To decorate the corner: two air loops, three double crochets, connected together from one column of the previous row, three air loops and again three double crochets from one loop, connected together.

Such a blanket can be knitted from thick threads and placed on the floor so that the baby can play comfortably on the floor.

According to the pattern, the product is knitted to the desired length.
