Crochet angel heart baby blanket

Maz Kwok

last year I designed the Angel heart granny square – a slanted winged heart on a solid granny square. I wanted to make a granny square baby blanket but had no time to finish it. Therefore, until now, I have been able to post this crochet project xD

It’s a reversible crochet baby blanket, with flying hearts on the front side and colorful dots on the backside.

Materials: ( I used )
4mm crochet hook
Lightweight/ DK yarn: white, pink, blue, purple, yellow… ( many colors / 600 gr )
Yarn needle
Scissors

Abbreviations

Note: I used chainless starting dc/tr for every first dc/tr of each round instead of ch 3/ch 4. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch2/ch3, dc/tr into the same stitch ( counted as 1st dc/tr ). In the pattern below you’ll see I simply state dc/tr for every first dc/tr of each round, so just choose your best technique 🙂

  • You can use any hook size for this crochet angel heart baby blanket pattern, just choose a yarn type that matches.
  • This is a type of scrap yarn crochet project, fun and colorful. I also modified the square pattern a bit to have a straight flying heart on the square.
  • Each square size: 10 x 10 inches
  • Finished crochet project: 35 x 35 inches ( stroller size )

Special stitch used: 5dc-shell stitch ( 5 dc into same stitch or space )

Skill level: Intermediate

Pattern:

Visit my Angel heart granny square post for the winged heart pattern.

Heart: with color A yarn

Wings: with color B yarn

Square bed: with color C yarn ( solid square )

Flip the heart, you’ll see the back-loops.

R1: Insert hook into the 3rd back loop from the last st of R1 ( the heart part). Crochet 2 dc into every loop, sl into first st to join, total 24 sts.

R2: 1 tr and 1 dc into same st, 4 dc across, 1 dc and 1 tr into next st, ch 2, *1 tr and 1 dc into next st, 4 dc across, 1 dc and 1 tr into next st, ch 2* repeat ** 3 times, sl into first st to join.
Now every ch 2 at the corners is a ch2-space.

R3: (8 dc across, 2 dc into next ch2-space, ch 2, 2 dc into the same ch2-space) x 4 times, sl into first st to join.

R4: 10 dc across, 2 dc into next ch2-space, ch 2, 2 dc into same ch2-space, *12 dc across, 2 dc into next ch2-space, ch 2, 2 dc into same ch2-space* repeat ** 3 times, 2 dc across, sl into first st to join.

R8: 18 dc across, 2 dc into next ch2-space, ch 2, 2 dc into same ch2-space, *28 dc across, 2 dc into next ch2-space, ch 2, 2 dc into same ch2-space* repeat ** 3 times, 10 dc across, sl into first st to join.

R9: 20 dc across, 2 dc into next ch2-space, ch 2, 2 dc into same ch2-space, *32 dc across, 2 dc into next ch2-space, ch 2, 2 dc into same ch2-space* repeat ** 3 times, 12 dc across, sl into first st to join.

R10: 22 dc across, 2 dc into next ch2-space, ch 2, 2 dc into same ch2-space, *36 dc across, 2 dc into next ch2-space, ch 2, 2 dc into same ch2-space* repeat ** 3 times, 14 dc across, sl into first st to join.

R11: change to color A yarn, 24 dc across, 2 dc into next ch2-space, ch 2, 2 dc into the same ch2-space, *40 dc across, 2 dc into next ch2-space, ch 2, 2 dc into the same ch2-space* repeat ** 3 times, 16 dc across, sl into first st to join. ( fasten off )

  • Crochet 9 squares with different color themes, now it’s time to join them. There are many ways to join crochet motifs, and you can pick any method you want.
  • As these are solid crochet squares, I decided to use the double crochet-2 together seams method which would add one more row to the motifs. Then crochet the border around with double crochet ( using color B yarn- 2dc, ch2, 2dc into each corner ).

After all, time for crochet edging.

With color B yarn, continue from the last stitch of the border round.

R1: ( dc, skip 1 st, dc into next stitch ) repeat around the blanket, sl into first st to join.

R2: sc into 1st stitch, skip next ch1-space, 5 dc- shell stitch into next stitch, skip next ch1-space, ( sc into next stitch,  5 dc- shell stitch into next stitch, skip next ch1-space ) repeat around the blanket, sl into first st to join. ( fasten off, weave in ends )
