I added an extra row of ruffle to have less left over yarn. Used three 5 oz skeins of Bernat Softee Baby in baby denim marle.

What a sweet, bright and cheery model and Lace Border Blanket! I've yet to try the V-Stitch and this one seems to have many so it might be a good place to start! It seems the pattern is written well and is a good size for a new born. I wonder if anyone has figured the multiples to make it larger? If so, please share. Thanks for this darling pattern!

Oh such a lovely blanket and the baby is so sweet! Because there quite a few new borns in my life right now I will definitely be making this and have already begun looking for the yarn which we are not familiar with here in South Africa. I am also rather tempted to make a larger one as a throw for our Fall which is almost upon us here. I love throws and light blankets and this pattern being rated Easy makes this throw even more appealing for night time crochet.

Very nice baby blanket pattern, it seems easy to crochet. The pattern for the main part has only two rows making V-stitch. The lace edging looks very pretty and quite wide in the picture but I was surprised to read the pattern, the lace edging is only of five rows.

After having started this twice and wondering why mine wasn't looking like the picture, I realised it was the American terminology that had thrown me! I was doing English 'double crochet'! I really wish there could be more warnings. The British double crochet created a very pretty shell, it was just too dense. Third time lucky.

I am having trouble understanding the border. It says to work 107 sc along each edge of blanket. How are the stitches placed? what stitches do they go into? Thank You, Cin

I just went to print the whole page (not finding a "print" option in the instructions) and when i did that I was surprised to see that only the instructions were shown to print! (just try Print under your file button and you'll see, I hope -)

I can't figure out the first instruction after CH 112. Does this mean to do a dc, ch 2, and dc in the first stitch, the one next to the hook? After the hyphen it instructs a V-st in the 5th ch. I'm not familiar with this format. Can someone clarify? Thanks!

It is confusing. Do the first stitch in the fifth chain from hook.

I made this blanket for my sister in law's baby shower gift. She loved it and so did everyone else. I'm acually making it again for another friend. Its a great pattern and its easy to make.

Thank you so much for leaving your review about this pattern, I was searching through the comments hoping someone would say it was truly easy to make! I'm in the process of searching for a pattern for a baby shower gift and was hoping to make this blanket. Is the edging easy to complete as well?

@jclauss1 4031850, V-st stands for the crocheted V-stitch. To create a V-stitch, work 1 double crochet stitch, chain 1 stitch, and work another double crochet stitch, all for a single stitch. To view a tutorial, here is a link to AllFreeCrochet's YouTube site with a video tutorial of the V-stitch: http://www.youtube.com/allfreecrochet#p/search/0/5pz4M5FBQOE I hope this helps! --Editor of AllFreeCrochet
