The Pink Toque» Knit & Crochet Tutorials » Lila: A Combination Knit & Crochet Baby Blanket – FREE Pattern! Posted in Knit & Crochet, Tutorials , on January 8, 2014 , With our second baby, Lila, on the way (I can’t believe she’s due next month!)
I of course had to whip up a baby blanket. I didn’t want to use the same pattern that I used for Liam just to mix things up a bit, and spent days going through patterns on Ravelry to find just the right blanket but couldn’t decide. I was torn on whether I wanted to knit or crochet; I prefer the look of knit, but crochet is so much quicker for me. What’s an indecisive pregnant mama to do?! I somewhat recently learned broomstick lace crochet, and I remember thinking it could easily transition to knitting needles to do a combo project, and the idea was born to make a baby blanket from alternating broomstick lace crochet and garter knit stitch panels.

Crochet Crochet Hexagon Pattern - Join As You GoPetals to Picots. Last week I shared with you my pattern for making granny hexagons.
Now let’s get to work joining them. I prefer using the the join as you go (JAYGO) method. In the JAYGO method, you join the crochet hexagons while working the final round of the pattern. Not only is it easy, but it also creates this beautiful design between your motifs! To begin, work this round on your first hexagon only: Round 4: Join cream color in in the last ch-sp made, ch 1 (does not count as st), 1 sc in same ch-sp, ch 2, 1 sc in next ch-sp, ch 2, [1sc, ch 1, 1 sc] in corner ch-sp, ch 2, *1 sc in next ch-sp, ch 2, 1 sc in next ch-sp, ch 2, [1sc, ch 1, 1 sc] in corner ch-sp, ch 2, rep from * around, join and fasten off — 24 scs and 24 ch-sps.
To join your second hexagon to your first, begin working Round 4 as above on the second hexagon, but when you reach the first corner of the side that is going to join, connect as follows: As promised, an update on my Mario blanket...so close to done! Novamade: the coolest thing i've ever made? You were expecting a white couch in my front yard, perhaps?
There is something so very deeply satisfying about crochet. You can ask different crafters and get different answers; but, quite frankly, time-wise, you get a lot of bang for your buck. I made Babette in a month. That's how long it took me to make Ruby. It took me longer to weave loose ends and write the pattern. So, here she is. My friend wanted something that was "granny" but "not granny".
I worked on this blanket quite a bit traveling to Kansas City for the funeral of Special K's grandmother, Ruby, who was a pretty amazing crocheter, so the name seemed pretty appropriate. Pattern is up in Ravelry (probably the best place to download it). Novamade: the coolest thing i've ever made?
