Below is the free crochet pattern for this adorable and trendy Buffalo Plaid Baby Blanket. You need to know how to chain, single crochet and change colors in order to complete this blanket.
There are few things in life as exciting as a new baby! New life starting, new joys, new struggles, new depths of exhaustion and new heights of delight. So. Much. Potential.
Making a cherished, and might I say, trendy, baby blanket is a wonderful way to welcome baby.
The body of the blanket is made using the spider stitch which is a single crochet v-stitch. It’s such an easy stitch to learn and adds delightful texture and warmth to the blanket.
The border with the buffalo plaid is just single crochets with color changes! If the idea of all those color changes and carrying the yarn intimidates you, Whistle and Ivy has an online course (read, you don’t have to leave your house or get out of your jammies to learn) which teaches all things buffalo plaid!
You will be a Buffalo Plaid Pro after taking the course and working through the 3 included projects. Check out all the details for the Learn to Crochet Plaid Course here.
The spider stitch makes a very warm and dense fabric. In order to keep the blanket from being stiff I used a larger hook than would normally be used with this yarn. The large hook helps keep the blanket flexible but still nice, warm, and hole free.
How cute would this blanket look with the Buffalo Check Crochet Pillow Cover? It would be adorable as part of a woodland themed nursery.
Or you can make it larger and into a lap throw! Wouldn’t it look great at your cabin or in your favorite man’s man cave?
Let me know in the comments who you will be making this for!
With a love for crochet spanning more than twenty years, I’ve been designing patterns for Stitching Together since 2017. I focus on creating simple, fun, and functional patterns—designs I’d use in my own life. When I’m not crocheting, I enjoy reading, making music, practicing Taekwondo, and, of course, spending time with my husband, our three kids, three cats, and one goofy dog. (Let's be honest, I've figured out how to do most of those things while also crocheting)
