Lazy Wave Baby Blanket Free Crochet Pattern

This simple wave stitch baby blanket will be a pleasure to make, no matter if you are a beginner or an experienced crocheter. I called it “Lazy Wave” because the stitch I use is somewhat different than your regular wave stitch. Some would call it “wrong”, but I decided to embrace its unique look.

A sea-shore cowl for my godsister to use up some of the million chunky blue leftovers I have! I absolutely love how this came out since it was pretty much improvised.

Yarn: Stylecraft Special Chunky - my best guess at the shades is White, Duck Egg, Teal, Empire, and French Navy (they were all scraps without labels!)

This baby blanket is done! A baby shower gift part 1 of (?). 😂

After much trying, frogging, redoing, frogging again, trying a new pattern, frogging, procrastinating... It is finally done!

The bulk pattern is the common chevron stitch, or the wave pattern, done using 1 ball of Bernat baby blanket yarn in the variegated blue, and 1.75 of an unlabelled grey yarn from Spotlight of similar feel. Random scalloped edge because that's just my favourite pattern.

The blue represents the new baby boy, the grey represents the 'first' baby (her bunny happens to be the same grey 🤭). I chose waves because I wanted the idea of "relaxation"...

I've already rolled and tied it up, kept in a plastic wrapping safe from dust, not gonna take it out again to measure 😂 but it is large enough to wrap both mummy and baby. Haha.

It's not too hot - perfect with the aircon on, slightly weighted, and verrryyy squishy 💕 perhaps could be used up to toddler age, or mummy can have it to snuggle. Heh heh.

One of the orders from my uncle.

"Ocean colours", he said. Blues.
