Appliquéd Bubble Wrap Crochet Blanket ( Free Pattern)

Appliquéd Bubble Wrap Crochet Blanket

This is a very easy beginner baby blanket pattern. If you know the basic crochet stitches working this one is going to be a breeze. When I first made the doll appliqué the face turned out to be too long. It left me wondering what can be done to make it cuter, I figured making the face wider will do the trick. I had done the same appliqué for one of my sewing projects and I knew this could not go wrong. All said, I am quite happy with the way it turned out and I am ready to share it with all of you. This would make a beautiful stroller blanket.

Brick Stitch Afghan Pattern

Brick Stitch Afghan

It's funny how, in the world of crochet, you can learn a new stitch and work things with it for years and years and then find that there is another stitch out there with the same name but worked completely different. I don't know which one is correct and I'm sure it happens all the time. To me, the stitch used in this crochet pattern will always be the Brick Stitch (because I'm a creature of habit!)

I've made so many of these "Brick Stitch" afghans in the past 20 years and always love them! I love the effect the stitch gives when striping the design and I love the finished afghans using a single color. They all turn out wonderful and work up quickly.
