AlixaCrochet
One row to learn, then repeat. A free beginner pattern in three sizes.
Soft DK baby yarn, a 5 mm hook, a tape measure, scissors and a needle.
Make a row of V-stitches, then work a V into the chain space of every V below, with a double crochet at each end.
Keep going until it's long enough: about 42 rows for a lovey, 63 for a stroller blanket and 84 for a crib blanket.
A border covers the row ends, hides the woven-in tails and gives the blanket a finished edge.
Wash it first with a mild, fragrance-free detergent. Sizes, yarn amounts and safety points are in the full pattern.
