The braided puff crochet baby blanket is a beautiful blanket that features an elegant braided puff style and double crochet.

It works up quickly with this easy to follow pattern.

The final blanket measures 30″ X 30″ but can be easily adjusted if you need it larger/smaller.

This is a fun and easy blanket, great for a beginner or experienced crocheter.

Once you get going it is a great blanket to make without thinking too much about counting stitches, perfect for a Netflix/Hulu binge!

Enjoy the pattern!

Braided Puff Crochet Baby Blanket

If you would like to purchase the ad free PDF download of this pattern you can do so in my Etsy shop HERE.

In my Ravelry store HERE.

Gauge and multiples:

Multiples of 12 + 3

Gauge: 9 sts X 5 rows = 3″

Materials:

I hook- 5.5 mm

 

  • Medium worsted weight yarn- I used Yarn Bee Denim In Color in “Stonewash”, 3.5 oz for the blue blanket and the same brand in “Green” for the green blanket. The pink blanket is Crafter’s Secret in “Pink”, 7 oz. You will need about 12 oz for a car seat size blanket, measures 30″ X 30″.
  • Any soft medium worsted weight yarn will be a good choice. I recommend Lion Brand Feel Like Butta yarn.

  • Blunt needle

Notes: Turn after each row.

Special Stitch:

Puff Stitch: Yarn over, insert hk in st and pull up a loop, yarn over and insert hook again pulling up another loop, yarn over and insert hk one more time and pull up a loop. Now yarn over and pull through all loops on the hook.

Abbreviations:

ch- chain

st(s)- stitch(es)

hk- hook

sk- skip

dc- double crochet

Pattern:

ch 75

Row 1: Puff in third ch from the hk, ch 2,  puff in the same st, ch 2, sk next st, *dc the next 9 sts, sk next st, puff in next st, ch 2, puff in same st,* repeat from * ending with a puff in last st, ch 2, puff in same st (73).

Row 2: Ch 2, *puff in between the puffs from the previous row (in the V space), ch 2, puff in same space, sk next st, dc the next 9 sts, ch 2,* repeat from * to end (73).

Repeat row 2 until piece measures  30″. Fasten off and weave in ends.

To make the blanket larger or smaller, start with a ch of multiples of 12 + 3. This blanket size measures 30″ X 30″ and is perfect for a car seat blanket.

    I love the pattern. I will be making one in pink for a new baby coming into this world. I would also like to make one larger, say 40X60 but am not sure how to do this. Any suggestions?

      Hi! Check the gauge then you can additional additional foundation chains according to the size you need 🙂

    I’m having trouble with the Row 1 instructions. Shouldn’t the chain 2 stitches be between the puff stitches? You have them after.

      Hi, they are between the puff stitches and after. It will make sense as you keep going.

    This is so cute! I was excited to make it, but as an OCD person, can’t. My puff stitches do not align perfectly like yours in every row. UGH!
