Hey y’all, so I need help. I’m making my first baby blanket and this is the stitch I’m using as my main pattern but I want to do an accent stitch. I’m still so new to crocheting and want some suggestions on what would look nice with this stitch.
Thank you so much in advance.
I think something kind of open. Like these show. The pictures are not perfect to show it, but … Are you thinking of another color? You could do a row different every once in a while. Kind of like a learning blanket, or sampler. So just throw in a row of something then go back to your stitch. Just some ideas.
This is showed with squares, but just do rows instead. 4 Crochet Sampler Blanket Patterns + Tutorials
You can do
Some shells made with dc or treble-depending on how open you want it.
That will be a challenge! Good choice though.
Why challenge? I watched how to make it and it looks like it easy to do and goes in every stitch like I will need to continue to make my main stitch.
The yarn doesn’t look like a great option for a baby, it looks to me like these little fibers that are sticking out of the main colour could be a hazard for a little baby if they separate easily from the main yarn. I would choose acrylic or cotton yarn for a baby project. Other than this, the stitch looks great!
This yarn is actually specifically for a baby blanket. It’s acrylic as well.
Great! I love the colours btw
Do you mind if I ask what yarn you’re using? I think I’ve used that same one before, but I got it for free without a label, so I don’t know what it is.
It’s Flecks Yarn from Michaels
Thank you! Do they have it without flecks as well? I’ve used this one, but it also looks similar to something else I’ve used.
This is the label. I’m honestly not sure what all this brand has. I honestly just picked this yarn because I thought it was pretty. This blanket isn’t actually for anyone. It is a practice piece for my nephew. I plan to make him a blanket but wanted to practice before I do his as I’ve never done a blanket.
