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

August 4, 2014

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.

Please feel free to make and sell this mini blanket, but please DO NOT claim this pattern as your own nor should you sell my pattern, and DO NOT re-publish my photos as your own. DO NOT copy and paste my pattern anywhere, please link to it instead.

      Absolutely. I recommend an acrylic yarn like Red Heart Super Saver, Bernat Super Value, or Caron One Pound – you can hold two strands together while crocheting to make a chunky strand. These yarns are very durable, and hold up really well to wear and machine washing and drying, and will get softer after washing. I made one for my cat, and he loves laying on.

      Welcome back! I don't currently have any knitting patterns on the blog, though I do have some in the works. I will put this request on the top of my list. Is your preference worsted weight yarn? Or a chunky version like this one?

    Love the blanket pattern, nice and easy for a beginner like me. Where can I find the hat pattern that is shown in the picture?

      I have this Newborn Twin Chunky Beanie pattern: https://eyeloveknots.com/2015/02/newborn-twin-chunky-beanies-valentines.html. I have it on my list to rework, and include other sizes, but haven’t gotten to it yet.
