This tutorial will walk you through the two coloured beautiful crochet stitch for blanket. This crochet stitch has the most interesting two colour design of any crochet pattern I have encountered yet!

🧶 Crochet Baby Blanket Pattern (3-Color Block Design)

📏 Sizing:

You can make this any size by adjusting your starting chain:

• Chain multiple of 6 + 2 stitches
  • For example: 6 × 20 + 2 = 122 chains for a baby blanket

🌈 Color Key:

• MC – Light Blue (main color)
• CC1 – Red (contrast color 1)
• CC2 – Yellow (contrast color 2)

🪡 STITCH GUIDE:

• CH = Chain
• SC = Single Crochet
• DC = Double Crochet
• FPDC = Front Post Double Crochet (for optional texture)

✍️ INSTRUCTIONS:

🔹 FOUNDATION:

• With MC (blue), CH multiple of 6 + 2 (e.g., 122).
• Row 1: SC in 2nd CH from hook and across. Turn.

🔹 ROW 2 (MC):

• CH 3 (counts as first DC), DC in each stitch across. Turn.

🔹 ROW 3 (CC1 – Red):

This is the setup row for colored blocks.

• CH 1.
• SC in next 2 sts, skip 2 sts, SC in next 2 sts, repeat across.
• The skipped 2 stitches will be worked over in the next row. Turn.

🔹 ROW 4 (MC):

• CH 3 (counts as DC).
• DC in next 2 sts, DC over the 2 skipped sts from Row 3 (work in front of the SC row), repeat across.
• These long DCs create the blocky look. Turn.

🔹 ROW 5 (MC):

• CH 3, DC in each stitch across. Turn.

🔹 ROW 6 (CC2 – Yellow):

• CH 1.
• Shift the color pattern:
  • Skip 1, SC in next 2, skip 2, SC in next 2, skip 1, repeat to create an offset brick pattern.
• Turn.

🔹 ROW 7 (MC):

• CH 3.
• DC in each SC and DC over skipped spaces, matching where the color blocks go.
• Turn.

🔁 Repeat Rows 2–7:

Alternate Red (CC1) and Yellow (CC2) on every third row to create a checkerboard/block pattern.

🧵 EDGING (optional):

• With MC, SC evenly around the entire edge of the blanket.
• You can also add a picot or shell border if desired.

✅ TIPS:

• Always carry the yarn along the side if you don’t want to cut each color after use.
• Use a tapestry needle to weave in all ends securely.
• Block the finished blanket for a neater finish.
