Learn how to crochet the Suzette Stitch baby blanket. This is a beautifully textured stitch created using only single crochet and double crochet stitches. Simple yet striking, this stitch has a lovely, dense texture that feels both classic and modern.
Making it a wonderful choice for blankets and other cozy projects.
The Suzette Stitch truly shines in a variety of yarn styles. It looks stunning in variegated and heathered yarns, where the texture highlights subtle color changes, but it’s just as eye-catching when worked in bold, chunky stripes.

The updated version of this pattern features a new color palette using variegated and heathered yarns—and I may be a little obsessed with how it turned out.
This baby blanket was made with a fun, festive twist in mind. The mom who received it is a big Halloween fan, so I leaned into a playful Halloween-inspired color scheme that’s delightfully bold and full of personality. Whether you choose seasonal colors or something more neutral, the Suzette Stitch adapts beautifully to your vision.
Originally published in 2023, this pattern has been thoughtfully updated with clearer instructions and an improved border tutorial. I’ve learned so much about pattern writing since the first release, and it’s my hope that these refreshed details make the pattern easier to follow and even more enjoyable to crochet. I truly hope this updated version is a blessing to you as you stitch.
