The free crochet baby blanket pattern for the Cuddle & Coo Blanket is a 2-page US Letter PDF by Terry Day. It produces a 34.5-inch square blanket using RED HEART Soft Baby Steps yarn in Baby Green (9620), with 5mm and 5.5mm crochet hooks.
What the pattern includes
The pattern gives complete instructions from the foundation chain of 116 chains through all 80 rows. It specifies working in back loops only for certain rows, and details the stitch patterns: rows of single crochet, 4-dc groups, and V-stitches. The finishing step is simply weaving in ends.
Printing and following the pattern
Print the PDF on US Letter paper at actual size, not fit-to-page, so the gauge and stitch counts remain accurate. As you work, mark off each row on the printed page to keep your place through the 18 repeats of Rows 2–5. The pattern is written in standard crochet abbreviations, so keep a stitch key handy if you need it.
