The beautiful Princess Charlotte Blanket is sure to get Oohs and aahs from the Mom to be. It is a wonderfully soft keepsake that can be adjusted to fit any nursery (boy/girl or gender neutral).

The pattern is easy and requires only basic skills and minimal counting. Worked in soft acrylic, but could be made using material of choice (wool, baby soft, organic cotton).

Crochet this beautiful baby blanket as a baby shower gift or a heirloom to be enjoyed and passed down within the family. Use it as a photo prop a lapghan…or just a snuggly wuggly blanket. Generously sized for crib use, it’s ideal for the newborn infant baby, toddler or young child or it could even be used as a throw blanket, a lapghan, a lap robe or for wheelchair use. This soft, elegant, babyghan will quickly become a favorite blanket.

This chevron blanket is worked in the colors; linen, gold, navy, and gray. This is a beautiful stitch, and can be worked in any combination of colors. It is sure to become a keepsake. This pattern uses both front loop and front raised stitches to give it a beautiful texture.

The pattern (both written and visual) is a breeze once you get the rhythm of the stitches. Counting only in the first row, then it is a simple repeat, resulting in a blanket that is the same on both sides.

The finished blanket measures 33” x 42” standard sizing to be used as baby blanket, crib blanket, bedspread, or toddler bed. It is worked in soft acrylic for easy laundering and care. The blanket is stitched in Medium worsted weight yarn.
