Look what Dianne Duncan made! Her Crochet Heirloom Rainbow Chevron Baby Blanket is very beautiful! I love the colors that she chose! She said: “Blanket by Helenmay. Now I’ve forgotten the name. It will be for the ??Express (I forgot the first word) and will be sent out for donation to the military.
Probably the most challenging blanket I have made but I absolutely love the end product. It still needs to be…what’s the word where you stretch it out and make it all pretty like?”

They have allowed plenty of time to complete the crochet/knit blanket because the Snowball Express takes off next Christmas 2019.

Don’t have time for a full crochet baby blanket, you can use a fleece blanket and crochet a border (Follow the charity blanket guidelines for size)!
I created a new crochet clamshell border for a #Snowballexpress blanket. If you would like to make it too, here is the direct link to the blog post:
This crochet pattern is perfect for beginner crocheters because you will learn a lot of new crochet stitches!!
This crochet Easy Baby Blanket video tutorial is a smaller version of the picture above. Some beginners could follow a little easier and make a security blanket instead:
For the Crochet Easy Baby Blanket above, I wanted to show this comment made to me on YouTube:
Lori M commented:
“I tried to make your blanket and I failed. The blanket did not come out even. The rows of the blanket kept getting shorter and shorter. Can you tell me what i am doing wrong?”
I replied:
“Hi Lori, that is why this is the perfect beginner crochet blanket. Not only does it teach a lot of different crochet stitches, but it also shows how to keep your stitch count correct and your edges even. The stitch count is one to one and the edges are always made the same. For beginners, I always recommend making the smaller version first for practice, which is why I usually show a crochet baby wipe holder/wallet or a security blanket. My guess would be that you may have messed up on the edges, or the cross stitches. It probably was the cross stitches, but an easy remedy would be to count your finished cross stitches for the row. You should always have the same number of cross stitches for each row, and they should always line up. This blanket is really easy because all of the crochet stitches should line up, and they are one to one. Here is the direct link to the crochet security blanket, which is a smaller version of this exact crochet baby blanket (That way you can still have a little stroller security baby blanket before making the matching larger baby blanket): Same YouTube video tutorial above for the security blanket.”
I was at the pumpkin patch yesterday with family, and one of the little ones wore their crochet pumpkin hat!!! They looked so adorable! As we were waiting for the pony rides, I turned around and saw a man wearing a crochet pumpkin hat!!! I thought he looked amazing! You could easily make the crochet baby pumpkin hat larger by making a larger starting chain.
