The Size
The finished size is given for a baby or toddler blanket, but it can easily be adjusted for other sizes. The width can be adjusted in a multiple of three for the starting chains, while the length is adjusted by doing more or less repeats of the pattern row. Refer to this crochet blanket size chart.
The Yarn
I used Bernat Premium yarn. It is a medium weight acrylic, and although not marketed for babies, it is soft enough that you can use it for baby blankets.
If your baby does have sensitive skin you can easily switch to a baby yarn, and then make adjustments to your starting chains as needed to get the size you need.
The entire blanket is shown here in a solid color, but the v-stitch looks great when worked in stripes. The choice is yours, you can add stripes throughout, a few on each end, or even just in the middle!
Regardless of what you do, this crochet blanket pattern will look great in any home.
The Stitch Pattern
The half double v-stitch is made with a half double crochet, chain 1, and another half double crochet. The stitch is worked in every row for a simple, yet pretty lace throughout.
I did not add an edging to this pattern, but you certainly can. I gave basic instructions for a single crochet round to give you a nice straight edge all around. After your round of single crochets, you can choose from these crochet edging patterns to make it pretty if you like.
It is super easy and mindless to work on.
