    Double the Love Baby Blanket

    Published: May 19, 2017 · Modified: Dec 15, 2021 by Tamara Kelly · 26 Comments

    The Double the Love Baby Blanket is double thick, super plus, and reversible for two different looks - and it's a free crochet pattern here on Moogly!

    I love the stitch pattern used in the Double the Love Baby Blanket, and it's one I've been looking forward to re-visiting for a long time. And Lion Brand's Pound of Love was perfect for it, with giant skeins of bright beautiful color - making this a 3 skein baby blanket with just 8 ends to weave in when you're all done! (WOW!)

    And don't you just love the way you get two different looks?! I can't decide which side I love more! The stitch pattern used here is a little tricky, but I've included photos below to help - as well as the stitch multiple so you can make a Double the Love Afghan in any size!

      OMG, love this pattern! Have read it from top to bottom and viewed the photo tutorial. Decided I need to get out the stash and try BEFORE I start one for real. I can already see many questions ahead of me. lol Maybe because I've only had one cup of coffee this morning.

      Just finished your corner-2-corner afghan and even with your video it took me over an hour to get beyond row two. lol Some days this old brain and hand don't work together.

      thank you for posting this pattern!! I have loved it for years (my grandma made several) and could never find it written out, especially so plainly. (I think someone had a table mat set with this pattern, but I didn't know how to make it a blanket) It's so soft and squishy. great stash buster 🙂

      I love new patterns and ones with a bit of a challenge. I most definitely will try this after I finish the one I'm making now, which will take a while, a very large king sized with 50 different stitches in it, very challenging but I love it. By the way I'm new to Moogly and I love it!

      How would I adjust the stitch count to make this into an afghan blanket for my son?

        Hi Safaa! You can use the stitch multiple of mult of 5 +1, plus 1 for the tch and chain for as wide as you want the blanket to be! 🙂

      Aubrey, I love this blanket as my mom and I have been making them for years. You did give me a great idea about switching the colors on one side and leaving it solid on the other. Everyone that we have made these for just love them. Depending on the yarn used you can make it as heavy or light as you wish. But I generally use red heat yarn. When I saw this pattern I had to tell my mom about it not realizing it was the same as what we have worked until I saw your pictures...them I had to call her again and let her know it was our blanket..not ours literally but figuratively...what a nice surprise...I hope everyone has the same enjoyment making these as we have.

      I just finished making this blanket in Miami dolphins colors just used 2 colors, and made an afghan sized! The pattern turned out perfect. And my friend is in love with her blanket. Thank you.
