Textured Crochet Baby Blanket Pattern – The Hazel

The Crochet Stitches

The Bean Stitch

As I mentioned, I used one of the same stitches as The Finley Throw – the Bean Stitch.

Here’s a video tutorial I made showing you how to do the Bean stitch. I hope it helps!

For those of you who like written instructions, here you go:

Bean Stitch:

• Insert hook into stitch and pull up a loop (2 loops on hook)
• Yarn over, insert hook into same stitch and pull up a loop (4 loops on hook)
• Yarn over, insert hook into same stitch and pull up a loop (6 loops on hook)
• Yarn over and pull through all 6 loops on hook
• Chain 1 to secure stitch
• Skip the next stitch and work steps 1 – 5 into the following stitch. Work bean stitch in every other stitch to end of row.

The Border

As for the border, I used the instructions from this video but tweaked it just slightly. Instead of doing 9 double crochet in the corner, I did 7.

The Yarn

Here are the colors of Lion Brand’s Heartland yarn I used for this blanket:

Carlsbad Caverns

Capitol Reef

Acadia

You can purchase Heartland yarn at LionBrand.com or Amazon.com.

The Hazel Blanket Pattern

You can purchase a printable PDF of this pattern at our shop here or Etsy here.

Description:

The Hazel crochet baby blanket is worked entirely in the bean stitch, giving it one incredible texture. Because of the nature of the stitch and the weight of the yarn, this blanket is fairly heavy making it the perfect item for those colder days and nights. This baby blanket will make a beautiful addition to a baby’s room.

Notes:

• Finished size measures 47” wide x 47″ long
• To change the length, simple add more striped rows
• To change the width, chain an odd number
• ch 1 does count as stitch
• At the end of each row, it says to ch 1. You are actually chaining 2, but because you already chained 1 to secure the last bean stitch, the pattern states to ch 1
