Pebblebrook Stripes Baby Blanket
I really enjoy using easy stitches in my designs. I love seeing how each simple stitch, when paired with the others, creates something beautiful. I originally used this stitch combination in the Pebblebrook Dishcloth pattern, and I liked it so much that I knew that it would show up in future designs!
The Pebblebrook Stripes Baby Blanket uses alternating rows of half-double crochet and single crochet stitches – and the occasional row that includes special stitch placement – to create a gorgeous, textured fabric. Add in the element of color change and you will create a striped baby blanket that can be easily customized to match any nursery decor!
The Yarn
I’m usually a creature of habit when it comes to yarn, and I tend to use the same types of yarn that I’m familiar with instead of branching out. When I went shopping and found Baby Bee Stork Struck, though, I just couldn’t walk away! This yarn has a stitch definition that is similar to soft cotton yarns, but with a soft, squishy feel that is absolutely perfect for a baby blanket. I chose the Baby’s Blue, Mint, and Naked colorways, but the other color options are pretty great, too.

Pattern Notes
Skill Level: Easy
The ch 2 at the beginning of a row counts as 1 hdc.
The ch 1 at the beginning of a row does not count as a st.
A stitch is skipped near the end of Rows 4 and 8 (and any repeats of Row 8). Be sure to check your stitch count after completing these rows to ensure that you have completed the correct number of stitches before moving to the next row.
Stitch markers can be used to assist with stitch placement.
