Plaid Crochet Baby Blanket
Plaid Crochet Baby Blanket
"Add a touch of tartan to your next crocheted baby blanket! The Plaid Crochet Baby Blanket features woven strands to achieve the look without complicated colorwork. There are so many stunning plaid baby blanket patterns out there and I love all of them. Many involve crocheting an entire mesh fabric and weaving in strands all throughout, which is SO pretty, but I wanted something a little simpler! Here you’ll crochet a few columns of mesh in a blanket otherwise comprised entirely of double crochets. Then you’ll weave just fifteen chain strands through to create a simple plaid. I’ve included many step-by-step photos below! PS: I used a few stash yarns for this project. Later my husband said the burnt orange yarn looks red, so it’s giving Christmas vibes when the intention was a bit more Irish. What do you think? I hope you enjoy this pattern!"
