This pattern is also available for FREE on my website HERE.

Create a squishy crochet baby blanket with great drape! The single crochet back loop only baby blanket is PERFECT for beginners looking to expand on the basic single crochet stitch.

It’s amazing how DIFFERENT a project can look when you work under just one loop of a stitch instead of both.

Follow the instructions to achieve a modern stripe pattern, or simply choose one favorite color of yarn or a self-striping yarn to have an extra mindless project!

I love uneven stripes, especially when you are stashbusting and not sure how much yarn you’ll need for an evenly striped pattern.

I hope you enjoy this pattern!
