Spring to Life Baby Blanket
For me, green is just the perfect color for a baby blanket. Green symbolizes life, renewal, growth and new beginnings, everything you would associate with a brand new baby.
This blanket works up really, really quickly using a 6mm/J-10 crochet hook. Honestly, if you put your mind to it you could get it done in a day. So it’s absolutely perfect if you need a last-minute baby gift.

Yarn
I used Paintbox Yarns Simply Chunky which is available in over 50 shades so it is perfect for creating a gorgeous color gradient. I used almost exactly 5 full skeins for this blanket.
Pattern Notes
- Blanket is worked in alternating rows of V st and Bobble st (see Special Stitches in the pattern post)
- Blanket is worked from the bottom up, beginning and ending with a V stitch row
- You can use any weight yarn and hook size with this pattern; sizes will vary depending on yarn weight and hook size used
- To make a larger or smaller blanket, adjust your starting chain to any multiple of 2 + 1. (If you are making a larger blanket you will need more yarn than listed in the pattern)
Color Changes
- Color changes are done at the end of every row. My method for changing colour is to join the new color on the last step of the last stitch of the row.
- If at all possible, I recommend weaving in ends as you go!
The pattern also includes a color chart if you wish to recreate the exact same color gradient that I used.
