Coconut Baby Afghan

This is not only an unusual shape for a baby blanket, but adding the textured Pipsqueak yarn really completes the look. Im glad that the editors decided to include the video on this page because after watching it, I decided to click on the link to the Crochet Crowd page. I was on the fence about whether I wanted to make it or not.

I love the feel of this yarn. I made something with it and have been looking for another pattern to have the opportunity to use it. My neighbor is expecting her first baby next January. I know she will love to have this to wrap her newborn in. Thanks for the pattern.

I love the different design of this Coconut Baby Afghan pattern My daughter received one like this done in Red Heart yarn and thought it was a table cover At the time we had never seen a octagon afghan so she didn't use it at all I love the thick yarn by Bernat Pipsqueak Yarn for this pattern I think it will be so soft and warm for the cold winter nights I so want one but a bit larger for myself to cover up with while siting here crocheting The written pattern is so well done its easy to follow and can be made while watching tv because you can just feel the stitch placement The video walks you through the whole pattern so there is no mistake in making this one I'm looking forward to whipping up this beautifully soft afghan Thank you so much for sharing this free…Read More crochet pattern

The first time I saw a circular baby pattern I was hooked with the idea. Now this one has a textured design element and considered an easy pattern. This pattern is going to rise to the top of the to-do list as the designer used Pipsqueck Yarn. I love that yarn.

I am looking forward to working with the Bernat Pipsqueak Yarn. I hope it is still readily available. It looks so soft and plush, but it does look like a difficult yarn to work with because of the fuzziness. Saw several comments on the bloggers site that the video didnt match the project, but I found that it did so maybe it has been updated to show the corrected tutorial.

Such a gorgeous little blanket for a new precious one! And it is rated Easy too. Love the really cuddly cozy look of the afghan too because we are heading into winter in South Africa so little ones will need all the snugness they can get. With the arrival of several precious little beings into our world in the past few months I had better get crocheting.

Might want to change the name of the pattern. Coconut is entirely different than coconut candy, which is what it really is. It is inventive, unique in shape, and has this thing where the stitch pattern used does not make for a flat blanket, and that is the whole point. Nicely done!

This is excellent as the pattern and a tutorial are provided. This helps so much because although incredibly soft this yarn is hard to crochet with as it is hard to see the stitches. The tutorial is the way to go with this. Mikey is a thoughtful teacher and you can't go wrong. This is a different look for a baby afghan so it will be a special gift all the way around. Coupons or a good sale will come in handy for this project! This will be a beautiful prop in newborn photos too.
