- I am excited to share with you this beginner crochet Baby Blanket. It is a fast blanket to make using this crochet pattern tutorial! Need to know how to crochet: • Beginning Crochet Stit... ****Purchase Yarn: amzn.to/2PlNJqb
Download Pattern: diyonthehouse....
The entire blanket is made using a Half-Shell Crochet stitch. This is modified from a pattern I found years ago on the web. I apologize, I don't have the source to credit the original pattern.
You can also view the pattern on our website: diyonthehouse....
For this blanket, I used 4 different colors of the Lion Brand Feels Like Butta Yarn - two skeins of each color are required. You can purchase the yarn here: amzn.to/2PlNJqb
Blanket Size: 26" x 28"
Hook Size: F
Abbreviations:
CH: Chain
SC: Single Crochet
DC: Double Crochet
I chose to alternate colors every 8 rows, but you can make your own pattern.
Base Row: Chain 100 (Your base row needs to be a multiple of 3 + 1)
Row 1: Double Crochet in 4th chain from hook, CH 2, Single Crochet in same chain as last DC, * skip 2 chains [2 DC, CH 2, 1 SC] in next chain; repeat from * to the end of the row. CH3, turn.
Row 2: In the first Chain 2 space [1 DC, CH 2, 1 SC]. * In the next Chain 2 Space [2 DC, CH 2, 1 SC], repeat from * to end of the row. Chain 3, turn.
That is all there is to the pattern! You simply use a double crochet and single crochet to create an adorable blanket!

Hope you enjoy making this baby blanket! If you need to learn the basics of how to crochet here is another video you would like: ruclips.net/video/1j-2ReVxJ9w/видео.html
I like that you kept explaining everything step by step over and over again! Most videos I watch of people, they’ll explain like twice then edit their video to fast forward!! Love this so I’m going to try
I appreciate that! Hope you enjoy your project!!
I love that you admit to mistakes and give permission to just make an adjustment, I hate pulling out rows, and in the end who knows but yourself, everyone else sees a beautifully finished project. Thanks for a great tutorial!
Appreciate that!! Blessings!
Thank you so much for this video! Super simple and easy to follow. I just found out today that I am getting a nephew and I can't wait to make him a baby blanket!
I’ve only been crocheting for less than a month. Watched your tutorial all way through. I had an appointment at hospital and took my hook and wool with me and made a start. You are an amazing teacher. Gonna finish this blanket, currently on row 5, and then I’ll be back for more lessons. I’m impressed. Thank you.
You totally made my day!! Thank you for sharing that! Have fun crocheting!
I have started and stopped this stitch about 4 times because I couldn't get it with other tutorials until I watched yours. Thanks so much!
Wonderful! It is a fun project to make!!
I'm new at crocheting and am extremely hungry for knowledge in how to do the little things. Lady with you I have finally found my crocheting master. Your extremely patient and actually take the time to show us the little things needed to create a special item. I so look forward to your next lesson
Thank you and please stay safe and healthy.
You made my day!! Thank you - crocheting is one of my favorite pass-times for sure!! Enjoy!
Love this tutorial! We can see everything clearly, you did enough repeats and explained it all! Thanks so much! Wish all other crochets tuts did that. Well done! 👍🏻
Glad it was helpful! Crocheting is one of my favorite pass times!!
Let me tell you.. I made this 2 years ago, put it away and rediscovered it last week. It's such a beautiful blanket. My niece just had a baby boy and I'm gifting it to her. I think this is such a beautiful pattern. Thank You!!!
You are so welcome! They are great baby shower gifts. I am making 3 now for expectant moms.
I learned from my grandmother 50yrs ago. But really haven't dont any for 36 years hope I can get back to my skills I had back in the day
I loved learning from my grandma!! Hope you enjoy picking it back up!
@@DIYOnTheHouse thank you. An art i never want to lose. I just wished I learned knitting she was a great knitter
Thank you for this lesson on the Half Shell Stitch! I'm in my first year as a crocheter, and this will be an afghan for my Daughter! I think she will love it! You're a wonderful Instructor and I will be back for more of your lessons for sure! :)
You are so welcome! I truly appreciate that!
Hi,
Thank you for the very simple instruction and a beautiful baby afghan 😃.
This is the first time I have seen anyone weave their tails in like that how simple can't wait for more patterns from you great job 💜❤️💜❤️
Sorry I didn't get your name xx
You are so sweet! I love learning new techniques for crochet -- it is funny, you just learn from the people before you! I would love to see your project when you finish it! Blessings, Kara
You are an amazing teacher! I learned some basics from mom in 5th grade but stopped because mom is left-handed, and she would get stressed out trying to teach her right- handed over excited daughter. 😅 Then, during middle school, I grabbed the needles again with books and kept learning. The way you explain things is very natural, and I can get things without stressing me out. Got a new subscriber!!❤
Thank you! So nice!
Thank you so much!!! I am a fairly new crocheter and I am so glad you took the time to show each step in detail. I will recommend this video for anyone who needs a detailed way of learning.
Appreciate that! Have fun with your project!
If you only need to adjust by a couple stitches in the foundation chain, you can use the tail end to add in a couple more chains, or pick the knot out to take one or two out. No "frogging" (ripping) necessary.
Dang -- what a GREAT idea, truly never thought of that. Thank you, appreciate it!
I absolutely love this pattern!! I’m an intermediate crocheter, but this was fun and kept my attention. It turns out so beautifully! I can’t wait to gift this to my new niece!! Thank you so much!! This may be my go to baby blanket from here on out!
You are so welcome! I love this pattern a ton!! I am working on one now that is turning out super cute -- running out of babies to give them to -- probably will start donating them soon!
My very favorite stitch, and I think yours is the only place I have found this stitch. It's the stitch that was in the Jamie blanket. The only difference I can see is that you chain two at the beginning of the row. This makes a scalloped edging for the blanket
It truly is one of my favorite stitches!!
This has to be the easiest site to learn to crochet new things ..thank you
I appreciate that!! I truly enjoy crocheting - excited to share more videos!
❤️the way you do your ends
Thanks!!
I really appreciate your style of teaching. I got it,first time. Thanks n have fun-filled day.
Thanks - appreciate that!
That is my very favorite stitch. I learned it as the Jamie blanket stitch. If you chain 2, dc in first sp, check 2, sc it will make a shell edging.
It is such a fun project!!
I LOVE how simple it is and the texture is just beautiful. Looking forward to making this.
I'm glad you like it!! Fun and quick! Enjoy!!
You are a very good teacher. You make everything very clear
Thank you! 😃
Very clear directions. Thank you! I can’t wait to get started!
Wonderful! Thanks!
Love this Blanket 😀 ❤ 😍 thank you for your tutorial I will be doing this for a friend who is expecting in about 5 months.
You’re welcome 😊
Your method of weaving in the tails is Brilliant!!!! I have Never seen anyone ever do it that way. Definetly will be using that from now on . Thank You so much. I'm loving this stitch pattern as well.
Thank you so much!
Very pretty stitch and your instructions are very clear to understand. Thanks and take care. Kris K
Thank you! You too!
I’m going to give it a try. Haven’t crocheted in years But have a grandson on the way. You give such great instructions I have subscribed to your channel. And since Covid 19 has hit. This will be a GREAT stress reliever Thanks you so much I’ll let you know how I’m coming along. I’ve got till October so I think🤞I can get it done
You can do it! It is truly my favorite pattern, it looks GREAT for being so simple! Keep me posted, and congrats on the upcoming baby!
That baby blanket you made was really pretty.
Thank you!
That pattern kind of sounds and looks familiar to me. It may be called Jaime's baby blanket by Lion brand. It makes pretty shell stitch for a blanket
I am using the stitch to make a full size afghan right now, turning out good, but the delicate look of a baby blanket is my favorite for this pattern.
I love how you teach us you make so much sense for us thank you thank you Xoxo
Thank you, appreciate that! Have fun with your project!
Thank you so much for doing this tutorial. 💜
Glad it was helpful!
@@DIYOnTheHouse yes it was very helpful. Shortly after I watched your tutorial I was going through some of my old yarn 🧶 and I had to laugh because I found one of the skeins of Jamie yarn and it has the same pattern.
I had bought it on a clearance at Rite Aid and it was only 74 cents. Unbelievable. Thanks again.
BEST tutorial I've listened to, thank you
Wow, thanks!
Thank you
Beautiful stitch. I'm going to try it for a toddler blanket. Wish me luck❤
Good luck! 👍
Thank you! Great teaching techique! Looking forward to more crochet tutorials from you!
Appreciate it! The next video is almost done!
Such a beautiful blanket. Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome!
I wish I could add a picture to show you how beautiful mine turned out.
Love this stitch, thank you for sharing
You’re welcome 😊
I Like the way you encased your tail in the same color row while your crocheting. Having a ton of tails to weave in at the end of a project is no fun. Thank you!
Thank you! 😊
Hi I’m new to your channel and I’m a beginner crocheter this is a beautiful blanket I have to make one and I sorry I didn’t understand the border thanks so much for sharing
I am excited that you are trying crocheting, it is my favorite pastime! For the border, go to the base row and start a new row across by first chaining 2 and follow the pattern for a new row. It just gives all 4 sides the scalloped look. Let me know if you have more questions. Have fun!
Oh thank you very much
Love the Patterns...can't wait to try them all...❤
Yay! Thank you!
👍 toturial . Thank you
You’re welcome 😊
This is a awesome blanket
Hi from Ireland a lovely stitch thanks so much I subscribed, Love to see more crochet stitches, xx
Glad you liked it! I am working on more projects to post!
I always do my chain in a larger hook, like .5 to 1 size bigger than the one I plan to use. It keeps blanket even, no curling or tightness
Good call! Years ago I crocheted really tight, I seem to have evened out over the years. Have fun on your project!
I love the rhythm idea!
Thanks
I started crocheting 15 months ago and I’m hooked! I have made 6 Afghans all using different stitches. I’m starting one for my 16 yr old grandson and I’m going to use this pattern! Do you think I could do solid colors and every third color do the two colored yarns? Or would that not look good because of the thickness?
I think any color would look fabulous! It is an easy pattern to change colors on. Have fun with it!
I really like this pattern but I definitely use a much different method for changing colors that saves a lot of time and yarn
That's great!
Thank you for sharing. I understood the pattern very easily but got confused as to why you tied it off before you even added the second color then when you did add the second color, I didn’t really see or understand how it was done. You didn’t tie the colors together which is how I have done it but somehow just started crocheting with the color. Maybe a better closeup of the color transition would help. Again, thank you for helping us beginners. I’ve recently realized, I prefer crocheting over knitting. I thought it was the other way around but decreasing in knitting to me is a nightmare and I dislike perling so crocheting is what I’m going to put my focus on now. It seems a lot easier. I’ve been learning a lot of new patterns on RUclips and having success on my projects unlike knitting. 😎
Sorry about that! Still practicing how to do the camera angles! To start a new color, you make a slip knot on your hook, insert it in the same place you tied off the last color, and start again. I totally agree, I LOVE crocheting and tolerate knitting. Thanks for the advice -- I am always learning!
I’m currently working on this exact pattern. Although you made me realize it’s CH2 after the 2DC. I’ve been chaining 3. Still looks great and I’m too far along to go back.
I think it should be great! especially if you stay consistent. Let me know how it turns out!
DIY On The House I tend to crochet tight so I don’t think there is too much difference.
Love this ! Thank you for sharing! I’m making these for my twin grand babies and would love to know how you did the edges. Thank you!!!!
How fun!! Here are the instructions for the border: diyonthehouse.com/baby-blanket/
Very clear explaining, thank you.
Glad you liked it
Love it! Thank you, doing this blanket indeed!
You are so welcome!
I am stunned by your mother's work!She is so talented!
Thank you so much! I am very blessed to have learned from her. She was also a very talented quilter! Sadly, she suffers from advanced Alzheimer's right now, and isn't able to do any of her crafts. Thankfully, we have her work on display for us to remember!
@@DIYOnTheHouse I am watching your videos from far away, I am a Greek,and what you said really touches my heart.I have lost my mother 20 years ago and got all her crafts;did not get rid of any of them.Give your mother a hug from me.
Thank you ...love it ..
I love your baby blanket. the colors so pretty. Was looking and happened to see this and wanted to see how it was made.I subscribed to your channel hit the thumbs up and the bell to all. Looking forward to learning more from you. Thank you for this tutorial & stay safe. :-)
Love it!! Appreciate that -- I have two more videos almost ready! I am addicted to crocheting!
L no
I have what I think is the original pattern on an old wrapper used it for years it was on lion brand pompadour baby yarn it was called Jamie's blanket
That must be where it originated! I had retyped it on a paper - I LOVE this pattern!
Very pretty...
Thank you so much for explaining everything so well making it easier than I thought it would be. I subscribed as I want to check out the site more!
GREAT! We appreciate that!
Love this pattern so easy thank you
You’re welcome 😊
I love this pattern. What would be a good size chain for a baby afghan? Looking forward to seeing more patterns.
This one, I chained 100. You need to have the number divisible by 3, then add 1. You can always add more rows -- this one is 8 rows of 8 color changes -- so 64 rows. This is a great size for a baby seat. Let me know if you try it!
@@DIYOnTheHouse Thank You Kara I will! I am going to try and make it a little larger. I make and donate crocheted baby afghans for Akrons Children's Hospital in Boardman, Ohio. I love the way it looks.
@@tonidibernardo171 I love that!! That is a great idea - you inspired me. I think I will get a hold of our local Pregnancy Center and see if they accept blankets. Thanks you!
Enjoyed your tutorial very clear and easy to do thank you! Can you please tell how to do the last part of the blanket. Thank you in advance ❤
Sure! I just added a picture to the blog post on our website that should help. If you have more questions, let me know! Here is the link to the blog: diyonthehouse.com/baby-blanket/
At 13:21 there's a HUGE hand saying, "Give this video a thumbs up!" It's so big that I cannot see what you are doing. Please keep this in mind for future videos. I really like this pattern and am going to try it.
Noted!! Thanks - always learning!
Very nice! Thanks 😊
Thanks for watching!
Thank you too!
Thank you.
Thanks so much
You're welcome!
Just subscribed. Beautiful blanket and great tutorial.
Thank you! Appreciate it.
Thank you 👍💚💚💚
You are so welcome!
Thank u really u made it easy !
You're welcome 😊
Wouldn’t it be easier to do a magic knot to join a new color so you won’t have ends to thread back in?
Yes - You are right - I will do that from now on!
I really liked how you explained each step slowly. I am on the 3rd row & the right corner doesn't lay correctly. It pulls. l started out the 2nd row in the first 2 ch space with 3 ch & 1 dc & then the rest of the pattern, but it doesn't look right. I think I need to pull it all out & start over., Help!
Sorry that I didn't reply yesterday (it was my birthday!) so hopefully I am not too late. Here is the second row pattern: ROW 2: In the first Chain 2 space [1 DC, CH 2, 1 SC]. * In the next Chain 2 Space [2 DC, CH 2, 1 SC], repeat from * to end of the row. Chain 3, turn. Need more help, here is the link on our website to the pattern: diyonthehouse.com/baby-blanket/ PLEASE let me know if you need more help!!
Thank you for this easy pattern i just finished it laat week. But is there a video to add the lace edge to the straight edge?
Thanks, here is the instructions for the lace, diyonthehouse.com/baby-blanket/
Thks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching!!
Nice thanks ❤
Welcome 😊
Great tutorial, ty. So you used 872 yards for the blanket you made?
I used 2 balls of each color, so it equals 1744 yards. Hope that helps!
@@DIYOnTheHouse Yes that helps a lot, trying to use yarn in my stash :)
Thank you for the this wonderful tutorial. I love the pattern and I am ready to begin.💖
I am glad you like it! Have fun!
Super pattern. Thank you.
You are welcome 😊 Have fun crocheting!!
Looks very similar to a trinity stitch.
Yes - similar!
Love this pattern. The yarn you used was polyester. Can Cotton yarn be used instead of the polyester? If I use Cotton can I use the exact instructions you show here?
Yes you can! Just play with your crochet hook size to get the look of the stitch you want on the blanket. Let me know how it turns out!
Good
What a lovely stitch is there a name? Love the tips!
It is a Half-Shell -- I love working that pattern -- quick and cute!!
Hi. I've made this blanket several times. Now that my oldest granddaughter is going to college(sniff, Sniff) I want to bless her with a blanket. At the end of the video you doubled your Caron yarn. What size hook would you suggest?
I love this blanket!! I would probably start with an H or I hook and see what that looks like!
To make the edges clean do you make a border on your entire blanket?
Not on this pattern -- it has a great curvy edge to it!
What size hook
Hook Size F.
Thank you for this Video, I’m a little confused why mine is curvy or curly. What am I doing wrong?
You may crochet tighter than I do. Try loosening up your stitches and see if that helps. You may also need to do a larger hook. Let me know if either of those help.
Mine was curly too for the first few rounds but the farther I got the better it looked
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
I bought some Bernat Blanket yarn to make a baby blanket. Would this pattern be okay with blanket yarn since it is thicker? Thanks
Of course! I am making one with thicker yarn right now. I would just use a little bigger hook size so it will lay flat. Have fun!!
Thanks for sharing
You bet!
how did she go all the way back to make the scalloped edge? did she finish the blanket and then cut the yarn and then go to the bottom and just do the pattern once or was there another way?
Here is a blog that I put more detailed directions on diyonthehouse.com/baby-blanket/
Beautiful ❤
Thank you! 😊
Do you think this would work with baby sport yarn?
Most definitely!
@@DIYOnTheHouse Thank you. Would I need
To use a different size hook or the same? I have had this yarn so long I think it is discontinued.
@@rhondaschurhamer6346 I would try the same size hook - go one row and you can see if you like the look! I would love to see pictures of your project! diyonthehouse@gmail.com
Beau travail _ merci beaucoup.
Merci! J'apprécie cela!
Hello. Love your tutorial! You explained very well! I started my baby blanket! My question is at the end you said you put a scallop border on chain row. How do you do that?
Cool!! Good for you! I put a picture and explanation on our website diyonthehouse.com/baby-blanket/
Hi. I saw the picture but still can't figure how. Also how do you start with a new piece of yarn that's not attached to that row? Any tips?
@@kathycampagnone2505 To start a new color, just make a slip knot on your hook and resume the pattern. Here are some more pictures that may be helpful on our website diyonthehouse.com/baby-blanket/
@@DIYOnTheHouse thank you, yes after I asked rewatched your video and figured it out.
My big question is where to put the stitches on edging border on chain row.
@@kathycampagnone2505 Here are pictures on our website, hope these help diyonthehouse.com/baby-blanket/
How would this work up with Bernat blanket yarn?
It should work fine! You would just need to use a larger hook and adjust the width of the blanket, because it is bulkier yarn, but it should work! Let me know how it goes, I may need to try it!
How many do you chain to make a full size afgan?
I would chain as wide as you want, then go back and count your chains. It needs to be a multiple of 3 + 1. Let me know if you have more questions!
Lovely tutorial, thank you. I have a question, it looks like the starting chain "shrinks" as you begin the first half shell stitch row. I would like to make my baby blanket much wider and longer (about 36" x 36") So is there "shrinkage" and if so, how much? Thank you.
I am excited that you want to make the blanket! I don’t have one started right now to measure - but doing it as a mathematical problem, 21″ wide equals 4.75 chains per inch. That would mean that you would need to chain 168 + 1 to get it to be roughly 36″ wide. If you don’t mind, I would love to know how close that calculation is! Have fun!
You did 13 to start a small sample does this mean you do an even number chains and add one more after you get the width you want for it to turn out at the end of the rows?
Your base row needs to be a multiple of 3 + 1 -- so for this one I chained 100, which is 99 + 1.
Thank you so much for getting back to me.
How do you add and crochet the scalloped edge??
I added the instructions to the pattern on our blog page diyonthehouse.com/baby-blanket/ -- let me know if you need more instructions!
Very nice stitch. Suggestion- relocate camera at an angle vs directly above as it makes watching video wavey and hard to watch.
Thanks for the tip! Always learning!!
I missed the size hook you used
Just today came across your video. Do you have a link or instructions for adding to that chain edge you mentioned at the end? Thank you
Sure, it is on my Blog diyonthehouse.com/baby-blanket/
