The Sarah Blanket is a beautiful, vintage style crochet baby blanket that uses a simple stitch combination to create a stunning result!
This gorgeous crochet blanket makes a wonderful gift for a new mom and baby, but can also be made in any other size!
Pattern Inspiration
I was inspired to create this crochet baby blanket from the stitch combo! I had used it for my Sarah Scarf crochet pattern and loved it so much!
I went with the cream color because I knew that color combined with the stitch combination would give it such a beautiful vintage crochet look!
The shell trim is just the icing on the cake, adding such a beautiful and feminine look to the blanket!
This blanket is so beautiful and can be made in any size or color!
Pattern Details
This crochet baby blanket pattern uses worsted weight (#4) yarn. I love to use Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn for blankets, because it is such a sturdy and soft yarn.
Some comparable yarns would be Knit Picks Brava Worsted or Lion Brand Jeans Yarn. Both are extremely soft yarns and very durable.
All three of these yarns are great for blankets and can be machine washed and dried.
The pattern is rated Easy in pattern difficulty. It uses the basic crochet stitches, such as single crochet and double crochet, combined to give it the lacy, vintage look.
Within the pattern you’ll find a chart of optional stitch counts to use to make your blanket larger. The baby blanket measurements are 32″ x 30″.

I have tried this pattern a couple times (on the same project) and find that the corners keep curling. Is that typical of this pattern?
Is it the main body that’s curling or after you’ve added the trim? If you haven’t added the trim yet, the trim may help it to lay down. Otherwise I’d try blocking it.
Iām having troubles with row 2. Is there a video to go with this pattern?
Hi! I don’t currently have a video tutorial with this pattern. What is the issue you’re having with row 2. Hopefully I can help you figure it out. š
hi! This pattern is so lovely, but i have a question- on the first round of trim, once i start crocheting down the side, should i be sc once into each row, or into the top of the first stitch of each row as well? it just strikes me that when I start on the last round, the ‘puff’ stitches will be differently arranged on the sides than the ends! Any advice would be great, thanks
You can just sc along the side of it evenly.
Can you use the foundation crochet single crochet instead of the chain, if so, how many. Chain calls for 99chain. Thank you
WOW! I wish everyone gave the foundation chains for every size. Thank you so very much <3
