Every Day Baby Blanket

The Everyday Baby Blanket is a beautiful and colorful crochet blanket pattern that is perfect for that next bundle of joy! Learn just how easy and quickly this blanket works up.

I can finally feel spring! It is here! I am so enjoying the warmer weather. I love being able to take my boys outside and play. Sometimes it can be overwhelming when you are trying to get things done and your kids are stir crazy because they can’t go outside and run off all that energy!

Speaking of getting things done, I have finally finished my Everyday Baby Blanket pattern. I’m not sure what it is about this time of year, but there are always baby showers!

Some of you may know, my twin sister had her baby girl not too long ago. I have been helping her out a lot. I’m so happy to do it. She helped me out so much when I had my boys and I am delighted to return the favor.

One thing I noticed when babysitting my niece is that she does not have a lighter weight blanket to go outside with. She needed something you can put on her or throw over the stroller to keep the sun from getting in her eyes. Of course this got me thinking that I needed to crochet a blanket for her! I mean, what are sisters for? πŸ™‚

Everyday Baby Blanket Pattern

Disclosure: There are some affiliate links below, but these are all products I highly recommend. I won’t put anything in this post that I have not personally used or tested.

The Yarn

I remembered working with Lion Brand Mandala when I created my Colorblock Cardigan pattern and thought it would be perfect for a baby blanket. For some reason I just couldn’t find the color I wanted.

So I went to the Lion Brand website and found their new Cupcake Yarn. It is also a #3 weight yarn and I found the exact colorway I was looking for. The color I chose is called Sea Breeze. It is a mix of orange, coral, white and blue. My sister loves Coral, so I knew this color would be perfect.

I love how all the colors blend together. You can even see some of the speckles throughout the yarn!

The stitch pattern for this Everyday baby blanket is very beginner friendly. There is no counting stitches making it a perfect project to crochet while watching your favorite show!

      This is such a pretty blanket, thank you for sharing the pattern. I’m wondering, did you cut the yarn to make the colors flow smoother? I just purchased some of this yarn in the colorway Tundra and want to try this pattern, but I really don’t want to have to cut up the yarn. Thanks so much!

        Hi Sandy!

        Thank you! At first, my intention was to not cut the yarn, but I did ended up doing just that. If I knew the color was going to change in the middle of the row, I cut the yarn. I would then save any excess for the next time that color came in the pattern, as to not waste it. I actually ended up with very little ends to weave in because I would weave in as many as I could when I changed colors. Hope that helps!

      What type of border would you suggest?

      • croydencrochet@gmail.com says

        August 6, 2018 at 8:06 am

        Perhaps a Picot?

      I can’t make this work! When I do the first row i end up with either 120 st or 124, I can’t get 121… I’ve taken it apart and put it back together 3 times now, what am I doing wrong?

        I love this pattern! Perfect for watching tv. And it has great texture for such a simple stitch! I can’t wait to try that yarn, I’ve been saying to find a good pattern to use it on πŸ™‚ I started a blanket tonight using Red Heart Super Saver in Icelandic because I had some on hand, and it’s so cute!
        Thanks!

          Hey Brit!

          I’m so glad you like the pattern. I love simple and mindless projects that you don’t have to think about or count stitches. πŸ™‚

      I have torn this apart and redone the first row 3 times now and can’t get 121… i can get 120 or 123 but never 121. any advice on what i am doing wrong?

      • Jessica says

        January 22, 2019 at 3:27 pm

        One of the tricks that I learned from planned pooling is that if you do a few extra stitches, say you have 123, you can make all the stitches in row 1, and when you get to your final stitch, you can just remove the extra chains from your beginning knot, so it would only be two chains you are removing. This is similar to taking out a knot in your yarn.

        I hope it works out for you!

      I was wondering how many chains should I do for a adult version

      • croydencrochet@gmail.com says

        January 9, 2019 at 2:21 pm

        Hi Melody!
        I would say probably twice as many chains.

      Just wondering how many rows you did in this pattern? Trying to measure out stripes of different colours. Thanks!

      • croydencrochet@gmail.com says

        August 2, 2019 at 8:17 am

        Hi Hilary!

        I crocheted about 90 rows. Thanks!

      Hello, thank you for the pattern! I see it says to use a 5mm hook, but I thought…I saw elsewhere to use a 4mm. Is it a 5mm and I’ve never worked with size 3 yarn before! If it’s a 5mm, does it come out holey? I don’t want it real holey.

      Thank you again,
      Julie

        Hi Julie!

        The pattern is worked with a 5mm hook.

      I made one of these blankets for no one in particular because it looked so cute. And also you never know when you might need a baby shower gift. It worked out really well. I will probably make more of them, they are so easy. Also, this was the first time I used the Cupcake yarn and I love how the stripes work without even trying.

      • croydencrochet@gmail.com says

        April 15, 2020 at 2:46 pm

        Hi Kathryn!

        I’m so glad you like it. I agree, the Cupcake yarn is so nice and I love all the colors as well.

        August 23, 2020 at 4:13 pm

        You make 121 chains to start
