The Beginner-Friendly Crochet Coffee Cozy

While working on my “How to Crochet” series, I wanted to provide several beginner-friendly patterns to help new crocheters practice. Plus, I wanted to show beginners how many items they could make with just crocheted squares and rectangles.

What I didn’t expect was how much I, as an advanced crocheter, enjoyed working these simple patterns. They were relaxing and had a beautiful minimalist look. They are also a wonderful way to showcase beautiful yarns.

Arcade Waffle Crochet Blanket Pattern

by Lindsey

Designing a Stunning Crochet Blanket

A while ago I figured out how to turn the arcade stitch into a blanket border. I just loved how it looked, but sadly it required a complex stitch count and would not work on many blankets. You need a stitch count of 6+3 on each side for the blanket for the border to work.

So instead I decided to create a blanket just for this border. I just love the heavy texture of the waffle stitch and using this stitch I was easily able to come up with the right stitch count for this border. Even better, I was able to size the baby blanket into 7 different blanket sizes to meet your needs.

This stitch combination makes a beautiful crochet baby blanket, but I think it would look amazing as a comforter on a twin, full, queen or even king sized bed.
