Auryn Baby Blanket Crochet Pattern

The Auryn Baby Blanket Crochet Pattern is a cozy and beautiful crochet project that is perfect for creating a soft and warm blanket for a baby. The pattern, designed by Bernadette Prokopetz, uses 2 strands of worsted-weight yarn held together, to create a dense and warm fabric that is perfect for snuggling.

The blanket is made using 3 skeins of pastel green Lion Brand Pound of Love worsted-weight yarn and a size P/11.50mm crochet hook, but you can use any worsted weight yarn that you prefer.

The finished size of the blanket is 47 inches x 47 inches, making it the perfect size for a baby blanket. The pattern provides clear and easy-to-follow instructions, including stitch counts at the end of each row, which will help you keep track of your progress and make sure that your blanket turns out just right.

One of the tips that I’d like to share with you is when using the two strands of yarn together, make sure to keep the yarns separate so they don’t get tangled together. To help prevent tangling, you can use a yarn bowl, or yarn bobbins to keep the yarns separate.

Another tip is if you’re working with a color changing yarn make sure to plan your colors, so you have enough yarn to finish the entire blanket.

Finally, since this blanket is specifically made for a baby, make sure to choose a yarn that is soft and gentle on the skin, hypoallergenic, and easy to care for.

Overall, the Auryn Baby Blanket Crochet Pattern is a great project for creating a cozy and beautiful blanket that is perfect for a baby. With this pattern, you’ll be able to create a blanket that is not only soft and warm but also easy to care for. So, grab your yarn, hook, and let’s start on this wonderful project!

If you love colourful granny squares, vintage-inspired crochet and anything designed by Lori Holt, the new Granny Square Along Crochet Book deserves a spot on your wish list.

This is Lori Holt’s first crochet book, inspired by the granny squares her grandmother taught her to make. Inside are 13 creative granny square crochet projects, all presented in Lori’s wonderfully cheerful, scrappy style. Expect plenty of colourful cushions, bags, blankets and useful accessories that make the most of those little squares we can never resist making.

The spiral-bound format is a practical touch because the book should sit flat beside you while you crochet. Partial crochet diagrams are also included alongside the written instructions.

This book is best for confident beginners and intermediate crocheters. You should already understand basic crochet stitches, including chains, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, treble crochet and slip stitches.

Most projects use Lori Holt’s #2-weight Chunky Thread with a 3.5 mm crochet hook, although some designs worked with two strands require a 4.5 mm hook.

What I love most is the book’s nostalgic, collected-over-time look. It is colourful without being garish and scrappy without looking as though every leftover yarn ball was thrown at it in a moment of desperation. The finished projects have that cozy handmade charm Lori Holt does so well.

The book is expected to ship in September 2026. The current reservation requires a $1.50 non-refundable fee, with the remaining preorder price charged when the book ships.
