Juliet’s Baby Blanket Crochet Pattern
This baby blanket is a gift for my friend Hilary, who recently gave birth to her daughter Juliet. Isn’t that name just beautiful? It reminds me of how delicate and beautiful this particular crochet stitch is, and it couldn’t be more fitting.
This baby blanket can double as a nursing coverup, you’ll just need to crochet the strap as outlined in the pattern below. The strap itself could also double as a pacifier clip if/when not nursing!
Materials:
Soft cotton yarn (I Love This Cotton! used)
-approx. 800 yards
Tunisian crochet hook in size 8mm
Clips (like these) if used as nursing cover
Finished dimensions:
