Today's free crochet pattern is this adorable ruffle baby blanket, oh my goodness this is the cutest thing ever and it is so easy to do! I have to be honest though those ruffles took a little longer than what i expected BUT it is still very quick to do.. I am clearly just impatient haha! The ruffle baby blanket is done by crocheting the base of the blanket which is just made up of double crochet stitches and then adding the ruffles which is super simple! All you need to know is how to work in the back loop of stitches on row 5 as when you do this you leave the front loop exposed and this is where you join your yarn to make the ruffle.

"If you get tired or frustrated with creating a blanket in rows and turning the whole things around, you're going to love this pattern. The Hudson blanket is just a bunch of different hexagons in different colors and they're each made separately. It's much faster and easier to whip up a stack of smaller shapes than to work on a large blanket. Once all the hexies were made, all I had to do was seam them all together. That step does take a bit longer, but it's an easy task to do and goes by quickly."

"A gorgeously textured and cute sheep squared circle. Worked in the round throughout the sheep face and body, then squared and the squares are sewn together at the end. Two patterns included - one for the sheep square and one for the squared circle. Mix and match for the perfect blanket! Easier than it looks - the sheep body is made with fuzzy yarn worked in unused front loops from the circle. No hunting stitches! Ears, legs and buttons for eyes are crocheted separately and sewn on at the end. Nose and mouth are embroidered creating a cute and whimsical lamb face. So many ways to use this square - make pillows, bags and so much more! "

"This is an easy afghan project that is also portable. Make each square individually and then join them all together at the end. The six motif squares work up quickly. Have fun mixing and matching the colors of your choice. There is multiple supplemental video tutorials for different aspects of this blanket, and you can find them on the free pattern page or Kristin Omdahl's Youtube Channel. This pattern features Be So Easy Yarn #5 bulky weight, available exclusively at Kristin Omdahl's website. "

"The Camden Christmas Crochet Blanket is a beautiful crochet afghan that doesn't have to be dedicated just to Christmas, but will be a gorgeous addition to your decor. It's beginner friendly. (So many Christmas blankets are geared toward more advanced crocheters.) It can be used all year, and it would look good in a variety of different yarn colors. It's made with Lion Brand Cobblestone Yarn which creates a blanket that's squishy but not too heavy or bulky."

"If you have a Minecraft lover in your life, this is the blanket for them! Based on one of the most popular video games of all times, the Minecraft C2C Crochet Afghan will be appreciated by all fans. 12 blocks are available. If you prefer a smaller blanket, choose 4, 6 or 9 blocks from the list. This afghan is stitched using standard C2C crochet. Each finished Minecraft block measures approximately 13 inches square and stitches up in about 3 hours for the experienced crocheter."

"Crochet a modern striped baby blanket using two strands of worsted weight yarn. This free crochet blanket pattern is perfect for beginners because it uses only double crochet stitches. The striped blanket works up quickly and is a little bit squishy, thanks to the double strands of yarn. I used a 10 mm crochet hook and about 720 yards each of Lion Brand Pound of Love "Denim" and "Oxford Grey." You could add tassels or a border to personalize the blanket. "

"This adorable baby blanket will be the talk of the baby shower!

The example blanket is crocheted using the C2C (corner to corner) technique with a beginning chain of 6 and uses double crochets."

"This stunning addition to your home decor is beautiful in contrasting colors but would also look fantastic in a single color throughout.

Complete photo and video tutorials are provided for each stitch which include: Diamond Waffle Stitch, Popcorn Stitch, Interlocking Arches Stitch and the Stacked Single Crochet stitch for an alternative turning chain. You will never get bored while working this pattern! No worries about tons of ends to weave in at the end - leave a long enough end to use for beautiful fringe at the end."
