Welcome, fellow fiber artists! If you were inspired by the gorgeous, comforting textures shown in the video above, you\u2019ve come to the right place. I\u2019ve designed a brand-new, unique pattern\u2014The Cosmic Clouds Baby Blanket\u2014which uses a combination of open lacework and puffy cluster stitches to create a luxurious, cloud-like texture that\u2019s perfect for snuggling. This blanket works up quickly and is easy to memorize once you establish the pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Materials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Yarn:<\/strong> 1200 – 1400 yards of Category 4 (Worsted Weight)<\/strong> soft yarn.\n
      \n
    • Recommendation:<\/em> A blend like acrylic\/bamboo or a plush chenille\/velvet yarn for extra softness. I used 4 skeins of a hypoallergenic acrylic yarn.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Hook:<\/strong> Size H\/8 (5.0 mm)<\/strong> crochet hook, or size needed to obtain gauge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Notions:<\/strong> Tapestry needle for weaving in ends, scissors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Gauge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      1 repeat<\/strong> (one Cloud Cluster<\/strong> row followed by one V-Stitch<\/strong> row) should measure approximately 1.5 inches<\/strong> in height and 4 inches<\/strong> in width.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      To check your gauge, chain 16, and work Rows 1-4 of the pattern (below). Your swatch should measure approximately 4 inches wide.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u2728 Special Stitch: The Cloud Cluster (CC)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      The Cloud Cluster (CC)<\/strong> is what gives this blanket its signature texture. It\u2019s a 3-Double Crochet Cluster worked into a single stitch, chained closed, and followed by a chain-1 space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      How to make the Cloud Cluster (CC):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Yarn over (yo)<\/strong>, insert hook into specified stitch, yo<\/strong>, pull up a loop (3 loops on hook).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Yo<\/strong>, pull through first 2 loops (2 loops on hook).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. **[Yo<\/strong>, insert hook into the same<\/em> stitch, yo<\/strong>, pull up a loop, yo<\/strong>, pull through first 2 loops]** two times more (4 loops on hook).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Yo<\/strong>, pull through all 4 loops on the hook.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      5. Ch 1 to lock the cluster.The next stitch in the pattern will be worked into the stitch after the stitch containing the CC.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Blanket Body<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        The blanket is worked in a repeating 4-Row Pattern Set<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Foundation Chain:<\/strong> Ch 136<\/strong> (for the 36″ width).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Row 1: (V-Stitch Setup Row)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Ch 3<\/strong> (counts as first dc), dc<\/strong> in the very first ch st you made (this creates the first V-Stitch base)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Dc<\/strong> in the next 2 sts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • **[Sk 2<\/strong>, dc<\/strong> in the next st, ch 1<\/strong>, dc<\/strong> in the same st (V-Stitch made)]**<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Rep<\/strong> from ** across the row until 4 chs remain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Sk 2<\/strong>, dc<\/strong> in the last 2 chs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Turn.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Row 2: (Cloud Cluster Row)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • Ch 1<\/strong> (does not count as a stitch), sc<\/strong> in the first dc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Sc<\/strong> in the next dc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • **[CC<\/strong> (Cloud Cluster) in the ch-1 space of the next V-Stitch, sc<\/strong> in the next 3 sts]**<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Rep<\/strong> from ** across the row. The last repeat will end with a CC<\/strong> in the last V-Stitch, followed by sc<\/strong> in the final 2 dc sts (the ch-3 from Row 1).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Turn.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
            \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

            Row 3: (Offset V-Stitch Row)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • Ch 3<\/strong> (counts as first dc).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Dc<\/strong> in the first sc<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Sk 1 sc<\/strong>, **[dc<\/strong> in the next sc, ch 1<\/strong>, dc<\/strong> in the same sc (V-Stitch made), sk 3<\/strong> (sk the next sc, the CC, and the next sc)]**<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Rep<\/strong> from ** across the row. You will end by working your final V-Stitch into the sc just before the final 2 scs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Sk 1 sc<\/strong>, dc<\/strong> in the last 2 scs (the final sc, and the sc on top of the starting ch-3 from Row 1).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Turn.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              Row 4: (Offset Cloud Cluster Row)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              • Ch 1<\/strong>, sc<\/strong> in the first dc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • **[CC<\/strong> (Cloud Cluster) in the ch-1 space of the next V-Stitch, sc<\/strong> in the next 3 sts]**<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Rep<\/strong> from ** across the row. You will end with an sc<\/strong> in the final dc and the top of the ch-3.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

                Repeat Rows 1-4<\/strong> until the blanket measures approximately 35 inches long, or desired length. End after a Row 4 repeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Border (Simple Single Crochet Frame)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                The border adds a neat finish and helps the edges lay flat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Round 1: (Foundation Round)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                1. Ch 1<\/strong> (does not count as st), sc<\/strong> evenly around the entire blanket edge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                2. Top & Bottom Edges (worked into foundation\/final row):<\/strong> Work 1 sc into each stitch and ch-1 space.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                3. Side Edges (worked into the ends of rows):<\/strong> Work 1 sc for every sc row-end and 2 sc for every dc row-end. Aim for a smooth, flat edge\u2014if it ripples, decrease your sc count; if it pulls, increase it.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                4. Corners:<\/strong> Work (sc, ch 2, sc)<\/strong> in each of the four corners (4 cc made).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                5. Join with a sl st<\/strong> to the first sc.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                    \n
                  1. Ch 1<\/strong>, sc<\/strong> in each sc around.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  2. Corners:<\/strong> Work (sc, ch 2, sc)<\/strong> into each ch-2 space<\/strong> from the previous round.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  3. Join with a sl st<\/strong> to the first sc.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
