Dragon Scales Baby Blanket by Make it Crochet
This Dragon Scales Baby Blanket is an incredibly textured, award-winning afghan made in a combination of regular crochet and Tunisian crochet. Similar to Crochet Entrelac, this baby afghan is made in a unique, continuous mitered square repeat. The color changes are made by the use of a self-striping yarn, which means you only have a few ends to weave in.
Unlike Tunisian crochet you typically find, you will NOT need to use a long hook. If you already know some basic Tunisian crochet, this baby afghan is on an intermediate level. The side with the even numbered rows (“rigth side”) creates a smoother fabric, looking a little like leaves. The odd numbered rows produce the more textured look of the waves and which is the reason for the name “Dragon Scales”. It may be the “wrong side” but it’s definitely gorgeous!

Gingham Crochet Blanket Border by Knitting with Chopsticks
The Gingham motif is a timeless classic but it can be a bit heavy for an entire blanket. I just love how it turned out as a wide decorative border on a plain blanket middle section. Don’t let the intricate look of interlocking colors impress you though! Each round is worked with just 2 colors in intarsia style (carrying both colors along the entire round so no ends to weave in). For the Gingham pattern to come out nicely you will need 3 coordinating colors. One light, one medium, and one darker, ideally all 3 should be in the same color family. Of course, you’re welcome to move away from this classic gingham pattern but you won’t get the same effect of lines of different colors crossing over each other.
With its simple basic stitches, this gingham crochet blanket border pattern is an easy choice for whipping up a quick gift in worsted weight yarn. The Gingham Border Blanket is designed for you to be able to easily adapt this crochet blanket border pattern to any blanket center you want.

Not So Scrappy Scrap Yarn Blanket by Knitting with Chopsticks
Being creative on ways to use yarn scraps is sometimes the only way I can get myself to get rid of those lonely skeins. That is exactly how the Not So Scrappy scrap yarn blanket came to be. This scrap yarn crochet blanket pattern is a worsted weight baby blanket perfect for any crocheter—beginner and up!
Since the crochet pattern is crafted in squares, you can use as many different types of leftover yarn as it takes and sew it all together with signature seams. I recommend using all yarn with similar fiber composition (%wool, acrylic, etc.) so the fabric will react similarly when washed. Each square is crocheted separately so you can adjust your hook size to meet gauge with different yarns.
To get a beautiful blend of colors I recommend using a light neutral as the main color (in my case I used all off-white yarns). For the other half of the squares you can use any number of colors you like together. For the seams and border I used a much darker color than any other. The contrast is what makes the seams and border decorative.
