Double V-Stitch Baby Blanket–Crochet Pattern

Skill Level: Easy

Materials: 6mm & 5mm hook, 150g Green dk yarn.

Notes: The double V-Stitch pattern can be used for various patterns and items scarves, cowls, shawls etc.
Measurements: 29.5” x 29.5”

Pattern:
Begin using 6mm hook and chain 91 sts.  (15 multiples of 6 +1)
Change to 5mm hook.
Row 1: Now turning work a row of sc all across the chain. This foundation row is optional but I think makes the work neater.
Row 2: Ch 3 to count as first dc, sk 3 sts, *work 2 dc, ch 2, work 2 dc into same st, sk 5sts*, ** repeat to final 3 sts and work a dc in final st.
Row 3: Ch 3,  *work 2 dc, ch 2, work 2 dc into previous V stitch sp*, repeat to final 3 sts and work a dc in final st.
Row 4: Repeat row 3 until desired length is reached or in this case 38 rows.
Here you can fasten off or create a border. I edged the blanket using green yarn and the basic double ‘v-stitch’. I then bordered it in pink and the final round was green sc.

Can you knit or crochet?

Craft Club is a national scheme to teach children yarn skills in fun and lively community settings using the help of volunteers. If you can knit or crochet and want to learn how to pass on these skills, come and join us at one of the free Craft Club volunteer training days taking place across the UK from September.
After a successful first year with over 350 active clubs in schools Craft Club is expanding in to community settings including museums, cinemas and libraries. It will work on the same premise with volunteers passing on their skills to others in a fun and lively environment – in this case to parents as well as children. 
There are seven confirmed training days across the UK. More will be announced soon on the Craft Club website.
If you can't commit to a whole day, you can find out more about Craft Club with our short talks at the Knitting & Stitching Show, Alexandra Palace, 6 - 9 October. Book your free place at one of these talks here.
