The Creamsicle Crochet Baby Blanket Pattern is finally here!!!! 

Pin it now and make it later!

Creamsicle Crochet Baby Blanket – About the Pattern

This pattern is for a fun Tunisian crochet baby blanket inspired by sweet summer memories. It is worked up in a total of 12 squares and joined together and finished off with a simple border. The border can be customized any way you like and this blanket can even be hung up on the wall as a nursery/kid’s room decor item (a link to written instructions is included). Links to video tutorials for how to complete a Tunisian crochet foundation row and how to do Tunisian crochet colorwork are also included. A color chart is also provided. You can change the size of the blanket by removing or adding squares. Colors can also be customized, keep it gender neutral by using greens and yellows like I have or switch it up as you like!

As part of the Hooked on Summer Crochet Pattern Giveaway organized by Pam of Carroway Crochet, just for this week July 24th 12 AM EST to July 30th 11:59 PM EST, you can grab the pattern PDF for free on Ravelry. Read how this works below then head over to the pattern and make sure to check out all the other patterns on the round-up page!

Here are a few pictures by my wonderful pattern testers! I loved seeing their spins on the Creamsicle Crochet Baby Blanket pattern, especially the different color selections. I would have never thought to use a black background. The wall hanging idea was so cute too!
