Star Stitch Striped Baby Blanket Crochet Pattern

When we tell you we’re in love with this blanket, we really are! It immediately gives elegant yet comforting vibes and that edge is the perfect finish. And as if that’s not enough, it works well with a lot of color combinations. Winter, spring, summer, or fall theme? Yes please!

This month’s stitch of the month is the star stitch and what better way to showcase this gorgeous crochet stitch than using it in a blanket.

This crochet baby blanket is so sweet, you’ll want to make one for your next baby or grandbaby. Simply switch up the colors to fit with any nursery decor.

 

While this stitch has a couple of minor challenging aspects, once you get through the first few rows, you’ll find yourself flying through the rest of it. And to keep it simple, we’ve used a basic single crochet stitch for the border.

Once you’ve completed one crochet star stitch blanket you’ll find yourself looking for more babies who could use a cozy blanket to cuddle up with.
