Crochet Mini Blanket 18″ x 18″ – Pink & Blue Twin Set – FREE Pattern

The day after writing up the draft for the 10″ x 10″ Mini Blanket (back in May – yikes!), I drafted the following post on a 18″ x 18″ Mini Blanket. 

After completing my 10″ x 10″ Mini Blanket, I took a trip back to Joann‘s to get some more chunky yarn and start on a bigger mini blanket.

These mini blankets are great as photo props! They also work great for baby dolls!

Materials:
     – L11/8mm Hook
     – Chunky Yarn (5) – I used about 146 yds (2 balls) of Deborah Norville’s Chunky Serenity Yarn in Alaskan Blue and Lilac Chiffon.
     – Tapestry Needle for weaving in ends

Time Spent:
   I was able to complete this larger mini blanket and the matching hat in about an hour and 45 minutes.

Measurements:
   17″ x 17″ plus 1″ border = 18″ x 18″

Gauge:

   2 rows = 1.5″. Border adds 1″ to total.

Abbreviations:
   DC – Double Crochet
   SC – Single Crochet

Pattern:

     Chain 40. DC into the 4th chain, and in each chain across. (38 DC)

R2 – 25: Chain 2, and turn. DC into the 2nd DC, and in each DC across. (38 DC)

R26: Chain 2, and turn. DC into the 2nd DC, and in each DC across. (38 DC)

R27: Chain 1, and turn. SC in 1st DC, and in each DC across. (38 SC)

Border: (Add 2 SC to the last stitch (to create a corner), evenly SC along the side, and around the blanket until you reach the beginning of Row 27. Join to the first SC.

Fasten Off, and Weave in Ends.
