Hi everyone it’s been a long time since my last post. I have been gone for almost a year. I’m very busy with my job and I just couldn’t find to crochet. Last week my friend invited me to her baby’s christening and I decided to make a baby blanket for her baby. I hope you will love this blanket. You can find the free crochet pattern below.
Materials Needed for the project:
1 ball Caron Cake in Strawberry Trifle (383 yd. / 350 m)
5.00 mm. crochet hook
Pair of Scissors

Wow! So glad I found this pattern. It’s gorgeous AND flexible. Thank you!
Hi Judy I’m glad that you like my crocheted baby blanket 🙂
For the 1 ball Caron cake baby blanket: I’d like to make the blanket MUCH larger as I have many carin cakes. Could you please tell me what the stitch count is (or multiples)for the pattern as well as the “plus 2” or however many the PLUS is for the starting chain
Does that make sense??
Hi Conni it would be multiples of 6 chains plus 3
I had to try this pattern. I made mine a bit larger in in blues, Brown, off white, and tweed. I also added a nice border to finish it off. Thank you.

Can’t wait to see it 🙂
This is going to be my next project, can’t wait to finish the one I am currently doing to have a go at this! Thank you for sharing such beautiful inspiring works ? I have shared this on my FB page, I hope that’s ok? There are many, many more I would like to do after looking through your photographs! Looks like I am going to be busy ? xx
Yes AnnMarie you may share my crochet projects on your facebook page…
The picture you posted on facebook has a lovely boarder. Do you have a pattern for that as well?
Hi Shirls I just worked single crochets around for the border
Hello! This pattern is very pretty but I was wondering, I have 2 balls of Caron cakes and it’s the regular 200g Caron cakes. I was wondering how would I double the size of the pattern of 18 x 21 to 36 x 42 but while not making it longer but making it wider and longer. This may not be possible, but I would really appreciate any feedback!
Hello Mizzy you may begin with 204 chains plus 3
If I want to make this wider what would be the no of stitches for pattern pleasr
Hi Dawn Crack, the multiples would be 6+3. Hope this helps
Love the colors and pattern! Thanks soooo much for sharing this pattern. Moments ago I ordered the Strawberry Trifle Caron Cake! Can’t wait to pick it up from Michaels this afternoon and get started on this blanket 😉
I pinned this blanket to share with all crochet lovers! Thanks again!
how do I copy it?
your video tutorial goes to an “autoblog” video not the baby blanket , How do I get the video for the blanket
Hi Anita you can watch the video tutorial of the baby blanket on my youtube channel. Here’s the link to it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1NgVQzCZY0&feature=youtu.be
Free patterns? Yes yes yes
I would like to make the blanket larger…what multiple of stitches did you work with?
Hi Haley to make the baby blanket bigger you can make it in multiples of 6+3 chains.
Ok using 5mm hook and it’s 33″ across and at 10 rows is 7″ I love it.
This may be a really dumb question but in row 1 what does “skip 2 ch.” Does it mean skip 2 and skip 1 or 2?
I am making lapaghans for a local nursing home. Would like them to be at least 26 ,” wide by 36″ long. How long should I make the beginning chain?
Hi Ruth you can modify the size the blanket. The beginning chain is multiples of 6 + 3 chains.
On the video, you use a back post DC. Does it matter which you use? Also, are you making the shell in the center of the shell?
Yes Cheryl the back post dc matters. It will create an embossed effect on the blanket and yes I am making the shell in the center of the shell.
I have some Mandala Baby tarn, and I’ve been looking for a perfect pattern for a boys blanket. This one is just right! Thank you for posting this pattern!
You’re welcome Nora.
Mine measures 18x 24, but this is really very small for a baby blanket is it not? Especially considering how expensive it is for the 7.1 ounce ball.
Hi Annie I made this blanket for a newborn baby. A security blanket for a baby measures 14″x17″. I think the blanket size is acceptable.
Beautiful blanket. Thanks for sharing your pattern. I can’t wait to make it.
