Parquet Stitch Baby Blanket

Its March and Spring is on the way! It is that time of year when we get to add some more sunlight to the day by rolling our clocks forward by one hour! 

If you have been looking for quick and easy baby blanket patterns, you are in the right place, for the month of March we will be focusing on quick and easy baby blankets! A handcrafted baby blanket is a thoughtful gift that can be customized with colors or patterns to fit the new baby's nursery. When you give a baby blanket as a gift, it surprises people that you had the time to make it for them! I enjoy crocheting baby blankets since you can crochet them up quickly with basic crochet stitches and create something special!

Here we go a skein, fresh off the hook:

                             The Parquet Stitch Baby Blanket

The parquet stitch blanket is great for crocheters of all skill levels since it is done with basic crochet stitches and has a repeating pattern. (yes, you can watch a movie and crochet while making this blanket!)

I love the simplicity of the stitch and the beautiful pattern it creates, the parquet stitch gives the blanket an antique or vintage look. The blanket border is a simple sc crochet border just to create a frame around the edge.

I hope you enjoy this unique crochet stitch and the beautiful pattern it creates!

Have a hooky day! Lynne
