Soft Jumping Juniper Crochet Baby Blanket Free Pattern
I found a dream of a stitch for this blanket and I am excited to share it with you. The Soft Jumping Juniper Crochet Baby Blanket free pattern makes the perfect gift for that precious little one in your life. I absolutely LOVE this stitch because it is super versatile. Furthermore, the blanket stitch creates a soft, warm, and inviting fabric that can be used for many different projects. The Jumping Juniper Soft Baby Blanket below was inspired by Hobby Lobby Nursery room Decorations and Lion Brand Yarn Jumping Juniper, naked, and baby sage.
This is a great “go-to” stitch for so many different projects. Not only does the blanket stitch create a dense fabric, it also makes great scarves, hats, or washcloths. The stitch uses the beginner friendly single crochet and double crochet stitches and it works up quickly and easily. The variation in height of the stitches give this stitch a beautiful texture that is great with many different kinds of yarns.
The Yarn: Jumping Juniper
I used Baby Bee sweet delight yarn to make The Jumping Juniper baby blanket. Pairing the colors Jumping Juniper and Naked throughout the blanket gave it a chunky feel and look. The blanket stitch also helps create the chunky and warm texture. It is then borders using two strands of Baby Bee green. The simple border gives the blanket a finished look.
This wrap is sure to please and welcome that new little one with it soft and inviting feel. The earthy tones of the colors evoke a sense of adventure, and yet bring out the serenity and peace of nature. You can purchase an ad free PDF version of this pattern here.
