Wrap your little one in cozy comfort with the Harvest Stitch Crochet Baby Blanket. A beautiful one-row repeat pattern that’s both elegant and easy to make.
Designed with a breathable, lacy texture, this baby blanket is perfect for those in-between seasons when you want something warm but not too heavy. The soft puff stitches give the blanket its distinctive look, while the subtle lacy holes add a lovely drape and gentle airflow.

The body of the blanket is crocheted using the harvest stitch, which combines texture and openness in just the right way. Even better, it’s a one-row repeat, so once you get into the rhythm, you’ll find it incredibly relaxing to work on.
The yarn used here, Furls Wander in the color “Thatch”, complements the stitch perfectly—it’s dense enough for warmth, yet soft with great stitch definition. It really brings out the natural charm of the stitch.
What makes this blanket truly stand out is the thick single crochet border that frames the entire piece. The simplicity of the border contrasts beautifully with the texture of the puff stitches, letting the design shine without overwhelming it.
The result is a polished, structured edge that makes the blanket look professionally finished while keeping the pattern beginner-friendly.
Whether you’re making a heartfelt baby gift or looking for a satisfying project to work on during quiet evenings, this Harvest Stitch Crochet Baby Blanket is a wonderful choice. You’ll love how quickly it works up and how lovely it feels in your hands—and best of all, it’s made with love from the very first stitch.
