I think my girlfriends had a secret meeting and decided to all have babies at the same time. Since I am done having babies myself this, of course, means that I get all the baby cuddles and newborn smells without the dirty diapers annnnd that I need to crochet faster. Ha!  Creighton’s blanket is an extremely customizable crochet stitch sampler pattern that can be used for a baby blanket, a lapghan, or a full blown king size blanket!

Crochet Stitch Sampler Blanket Pattern

Creighton’s Blanket

To break this crochet blanket pattern into bite-sized pieces, I decided to make it two parts. In part one we will crochet the different squares (the more squares you have, the bigger the blanket) that we will then piece together in part two, along with adding the border.

Stitch sampler baby blanket crochet pattern

Each block should be about 6″ square, depending on your gauge. These squares work up SUPER fast! Great for crocheting while watching Netflix, or listening to a free audio book! Which, by the way, if you’re listening to audio books, I invite you to join my virtual book club!

Materials:

Worsted weight/Aran/Size 4 yarn

-approx. 3800 yards for large throw
-approx. 5600 yards for full

What size of Creighton’s blanket are you crocheting? This chart will tell you how many squares you’ll need…

Creighton's Blanket Crochet Pattern Size Chart

Creighton's Blanket: Free Crochet Pattern

You can mix and match the squares any way you like, for Creighton’s baby blanket I made 25 squares comprised of:

Half Double Crochet
Bobble
Crossed Double Crochet
Lemon Peel
Moss Stitch
Mini Bean
Waffle Stitch

Crochet Squares

Of course, if you’d like to throw in a few other crochet stitches into this stitch sampler blanket, use your creative license to do so! Just make sure they all end up the same size (within 1/2″) when the squares are finished. We’ll block the squares before connecting them, but it’s always nice to have the closest size as possible at any rate.

Don’t worry about the border being exactly the same number of stitches on each square, but do make sure you crochet them as evenly as possible. If you need help with adding a border to crochet, this border tutorial will help!

Bobble Stitch

    Hi. Love the look of this blanket. Trying something similar in green and cream. Found a pattern called Houndstooth that I’d like to include. This means carrying colour across whole row to avoid lots of ends. The squares I’ve made using this pattern have a ‘tighter’ feel than other squares I’ve done. Feel this might’ve affect the ‘drape’ of the blanket. Do you have any advice/opinion about this?

    Thankyou so much for this beautiful pattern, Im half way thru and every thing is working out perfect for me. Obviously not every square is going to be exactly the same , but once you start sewing them together they will all work out fine. Also its fairly easy to adjust your stitches as Im sure everyones tension is not the same. Thankyou again for this gorgeous tutorial which is so easy to follow.

      I have this problem too. If I left off two rows, it would be square. But then it would be 7 squares wide by 6 high. I am wondering if blocking it will sort it out the issues. I was hoping for an answer here before I do the sc all round. Ashlea - you have a great tutorial here.

      Thank you for posting these patterns and tutorial videos. I finished a waffle stitch square using your pattern/tutorial. I just finished row 15 of the bobble stitch square and it came out quite smaller than the waffle stitch square. Once competed, should all Of the patterns above approximately be the same size? Are they the exact size squares shown in Creighton’s blanket picture? I also chained 20, got 19 hdc on row but for some reason my square isn’t fitting 4 bobbles. I re started several times and each time I’m coming up with the same problem. I follow exactly but never seem to fit 4 bobbles plus do the sc’s stated to do at the end. I’d love to show you a picture so you can maybe point out what I’m doing wrong. Thank you again. This is such a beautiful blanket.

    I first saw the crossed double crochet stitch in the Walled Garden granny square pattern, and was delighted to see it here. While you use seven patterns, I'm going to make an afghan using four: the crossed double crochet, the half-double, the lemon peel, and possibly the Moss. Is it the Moss that you used for the blue and white in Creighton's blanket? I found the other three too complicated. I'll make about 35 squares, alternating blue and white, similar to what you have done. I hope it brightens the day for a patient at the local nursing home. Thank you for your inspiration.

      Hi Ruth! If you use a DK yarn your squares will end up smaller since it's a thinner yarn...I would either add stitches and rows to each square to make them 6" OR make enough extra squares to have another row and column. Hope this helps!

Am I stitching it too tight? Or are certain stitches too tight going to cause this? Anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance!

However, I have a problem while blocking, I am almost done but for example the crossed double crochet after blocking seems to have big gaps and doesnt look as per the picture and most of my squares after blocking seem to have this problem they seem very stretched. I am using a yarn with cotton and acrylic blend and used the wetting method to block. Also I am dont know what is the weight of my yarn. Really appreciate your help.

      Hi! You shouldn't need an Instagram account to view the pictures...if you just click the link in the post it should take you straight to my Instagram pics. I went around each square with a single crochet border. Hope that helps!

    Hey! What a lovely blanket!! I will be thinking of it long after I write this message. I also love the fact you added additional photos of the squares in contrasting colours. It would be easier to put in older photos of projects with the same stitch, but you didn't and I appreciate that!! Nicely done!!

    Hi Ashlea. Quick question on the cross double I keep ending with a left over chain. I've counted it out so many times. Any clue what I may be doing wrong?

      Hi there! You're starting the first row with a single dc on each end, then alternating each row to stagger them. Does that help?

    YES!!! Even though I've known the most basic stitches roughly forever and a day, just in the past year or so have I had the time to branch out and try new (to me) stitches. This blanket is wonderful, very pretty, and will teach me a lot. I can't wait to try it, BUT I am 2 days into my first Hedonist's Housecoat, so... blanket will need to wait just a bit. LOL Story of my crochet life!! Thanks, Ashlea!!
