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.

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.

Beautiful baby blanket pattern, I am going to give it a try, as I am going to be a great grandmother for the first time this year pg.
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!
Hi Janine! This video I made should help: https://youtu.be/FYM482CNGjQ
