Tiny Bubbles Baby Blanket

Happy first day of Spring! I hope the weather is warming up wherever you are! We continue our baby blanket month with pattern number three. I love this pattern because it is great for using up leftover yarn and it creates a beautiful textured pattern. The blanket in the photo below was done in left over size 4 worsted weight yarn in various shades of blue and gray. It was interesting working with different yarns to create the blue, gray, and white stripes. 

 Here we go a skein, fresh off the hook:

                                               Tiny Bubbles Baby Blanket

Tiny Bubbles is a quick and easy pattern great for crocheters of all skill levels since basic crochet stitches are used to form the bubble pattern. (See photo below)

Using worsted weight yarn creates a thick and warm blanket that can be used as a carriage blanket or as a blanket you would take to the park!

I hope you enjoy this pattern!

Have a hooky day! Lynne

Vintage Chevron Baby Blanket

Happy National Crochet Month! March is crochet baby blanket month here at D60, the second Baby blanket pattern is the Vintage Chevron baby Blanket. According to Yarnspirations.com "The chevron pattern is a bold graphic pattern that recurs again and again as a popular trend in fashion, home decor and even architecture. It has timeless appeal and yet specific color choices implemented in this pattern can immediately conjure up images of certain eras (such as the orange/yellow/ brown chevron of the 1970s or the black/white/gold of the Art Deco years). Chevrons can be found in every type of crochet project including men's crochet ties, women's Missoni-inspired dresses, blankets of all sizes and even designs worked in the round". Like the granny square pattern the chevron pattern is a classic pattern that is modernized with every generation.

Here we go a skein, fresh off the hook:

The chevron pattern is a beautiful zig zag pattern that uses one stitch, it can be done using sc, hdc, or dc stitches (this pattern uses hdc stitches). The zig zag pattern is achieved by creating peaks (increases) and valleys (decreases). 

This pattern is similar to the wave pattern but it has more defined points then the wave pattern and a different stitch count. Check out the D60 Ocean Waves Blanket pattern.

Have a hooky day! Lynne
