The blanket is worked with worsted weight (4) yarn held double, giving it extra thickness and warmth. Using a combination of 11.5mm (P) and 5.5mm (I) crochet hooks, the pattern comes together quickly. Even if you’re a beginner.
Playful Polka Dots
The polka dot effect is fun and soft to the touch, adding subtle texture and charm without complicating the design.
Simple stitches make this project accessible for new crocheters, while the use of two yarn strands keeps it interesting and cozy.
The pattern is easy to customize with your favorite colors, and the final result is just the right size for cribs, strollers, or even as a soft playmat for tummy time.
Whether you’re making it for a baby boy or girl—or keeping it wonderfully neutral—this adorable polka dot baby blanket is a beautiful blend of ease and style. It’s one of those go-to patterns you’ll want to return to again and again!
