Tumbled Glass Crochet Baby Blanket

Learn how to crochet the tumbled glass baby blanket, a one-row repeat worked entirely in granny spike stitch.

This simple and soothing stitch lets that AMAZING yarn do all the show-stopping work!

The colors are just amazing. Paired with this pebble-like stitch, the finished blanket reminded me of sea glass.

The pattern is finished with a simple single crochet border to highlight the many color changes in a unique and contrasting way.

I hope you enjoy this pattern!

Single Crochet Border

Border Notes: Border is worked in turned rnds. Across the top in Rnd 1, we are working scs and sc spike sts to help close any gaps. Working along the sides, aim to place about one st for every row-end for a border that lies flat. Along the bottom, we need to work one decrease per each cluster for a stitch count that matches the top. Once we complete this setup row, Rnds 2 and beyond become a simple one-rnd repeat.

Rnd 1: Sc in the first st, sk 1 st, *work (sc, sc spike, sc) in next gap, sk spike cluster; rep from * across, in the last st work (2 sc, ch 1, pm, sc), sc down the side, in the corner work (sc, ch 1, pm, sc), *sc in the next 2 sts, sc2tog in the next 2 sts; rep from * across until there are 2 sts left along the bottom, sc in the next st, in the last st (corner) work (sc, ch 1, pm, sc), sc along the final side, in the corner where you worked your first st of the rnd work (sc, ch 1, pm, sl st join), ch 1, turn. <Excluding corner sps, the top and bottom of the blanket should have 81 sts, and the sides should have 104 sts.>

Rnd 2: Sc in the ch-1 corner sp, [sc in each st across, in the ch-1 corner work (sc, ch 1, pm**, sc)] four times ending the last rep at **, sl st join, ch 1, turn. <2 sts increased on each side of the blanket.>

Rnds 3-10: Rep Rnd 2. <At the end of Rnd 10, excluding corner sps, the top and bottom of the blanket should have 99 sts, and the sides should have 122 sts (2 sts increased on each side every rnd).>

Cut yarn, fasten off, and weave in ends.
