One-colour crochet baby blankets

There are many different stitch techniques to choose from, including granny square, single crochet, double crochet, and shell stitch. The shell stitch, for example, can be used to create a beautiful, textured blanket with a lovely lacy effect.

If you're looking for a simple crochet stitch, the half-double crochet is a great option. It is created by yarning over once, inserting your hook into a stitch, yarning over and pulling through, then yarning over and pulling through all three loops left on your hook.

For a denser, thicker blanket, try a stitch like the one featured in Tuba Arslan's tutorial. This stitch is perfect for a baby blanket, as it creates a warm and cosy fabric.

Finally, don't forget to add your own creative touches to your blanket. You can decorate the edges with tassels or fringes for a playful finish, or crochet a lacy border using simple stitches.

Crochet a blanket with tassels

One-color crochet blankets are a fun and hassle-free project. They are also a great opportunity to experiment with textures and stitches. You can also decorate them with tassels or fringes for a playful finish.

First, you need to determine how many tassels you want for your blanket. It is best to choose an odd number for each short side: one for each corner, one centered between the corners, and any additional tassels centered within those spots. For example, you can make 3 tassels for each of the short sides of your blanket, which will give you a total of 6 tassels.

Wrap the yarn around the cardboard width-wise about 20 times, or more if you want a bigger tassel. Then, cut the wrapped yarn at one end, so you have a bundle of yarn loops.

Take the piece of yarn you cut earlier and tie it tightly around the top of the wrapped yarn, just below the loops. This will create the 'head' of the tassel. Make sure to double knot it to secure it in place.

Cut the bottom loops of the tassel to release the individual yarn strands. Trim the ends of the tassel so they are even. You can adjust the length of your tassel by trimming it to your desired size.

Repeat these steps to create the desired number of tassels.

Now it's time to attach the tassels to your blanket! Thread a yarn needle with the two long ends of yarn at the top of the tassel. Starting with one corner, insert the needle through the corner of the blanket and tie a tight double knot to secure it in place. Make sure to blend the tied ends in with the rest of the tassel pieces.

Repeat this process for each tassel, attaching them to the corners and centered spots along the short edges of your blanket.

And that's it! You now have a cozy and stylish blanket with playful tassels. Enjoy your new creation and don't be surprised if your friends and family start requesting their own tassel-adorned blankets too!
