Oooof, crochet is hard for me. While I like it as a break from knitting and give my hands and arms a different workout….it’s just not intuitive to me. Nevertheless my Rainbow Baby Blanket is done!
Camera angles hide a multitude of sins. I’m still working on not losing stitches as I turn and crochet. But this bulky chenille yarn doesn’t help. It’s a perfectly serviceable blanket just not so much rectangular like it should be. Given that it’s main job will be warmth and the absorption of baby bodily fluids I don’t know I am bothered so much.
The finished size is roughly 34×40 inches. I used three skeins of Bernat Blanket and size K hook. All it needs now is a bath in baby safe soap and tucked safely away for the wee one to be born!

It is so bright and cheerful, I am sure it will be well loved. I am with you – I know how to crochet but do not love it at all. Still, I would crochet a blanket ten times before I knit one!
I love the color of the blanket and I know from experience that brand of yarn is super soft but a pain to work with 🙂 I started crocheting when I was 8 years old and learned a lot throughout the years. Here’s an article that may possibly help (my blankets used to always grow on the edges)…https://feltmagnet.com/textiles-sewing/Three-tips-for-learning-crochet-or-Why-is-my-project-all-wonky-looking
Looks pretty 😁
I have that same problem! However, I think the future baby will love it 🙂
It’s super cute
It looks great. You did an amazing job.
Beautiful! I’ve just started to learn to crochet but haven’t made anything more than a not-square swatch. Perhaps a baby blanket is in my future….
