CAP's Crochet & Crafts

A good friend is having a baby girl in September so I wanted to make her a special, girly blanket.   I looked at many patterns and projects and finally decided to create a blanket using the Snapdragon Stitch (scroll down to bottom of page).

This is the "recipe" I used to create this blanket.

J Hook

Approx. 1200 yards worsted weight yarn,  I used Lion Brand Cotton Ease.  This is approx. 6.2 skeins or about 22 oz.; 3.89 skeins pink, 2.29 skeins white and 1/2 skein stone. 

Chain 149

76 Snapdragon Pattern Rows

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

10 Rows Pink

 5 Rows White

 2 Rows Stone

10 Rows Pink

Continuing with pink, do 3 Rows sc, evenly spaced, around the outside edge of the blanket, doing sc, ch 2, sc in each corner. 

1 Row of Ruffles, I alternated 3 and 2 dc in each dc around, doing 5 dc in each ch 2 sp of each corner.   I would have done 3 in each, but I would not have had enough yarn.

That is all there is to making your own Ruffled Snapdragon Baby Blanket.   The finished size of this blanket is 36" W x 40 " L, but I tend to crochet a tight stitch.
