How to Crochet a Checkered Baby Blanket | A Handmade Gift for My Bestie’s Baby 💕
Thursday, January 01, 2026
There’s no better reason to make a blanket than for your bestie’s very anticipated baby girl! We are beyond happy and excited for them. They are the best parents, and I wanted to do something extra special just for her.
Lexi is truly one of the coolest people you’ll ever meet—faithful, kind-hearted, a go-getter, quirky, and endlessly creative. So of course I was excited to make her daughter a blanket, because with Lexi, the sky is the limit. She loves anything unique and different.
She has a jewelry company called Oh Clem, with the prettiest shade of orange as its main color, so I set out to find something close—and guess what?! I found it! I knew I wanted a checkered pattern because it’s timeless, but instead of cream, I chose these two bold colors. I love how fun and playful it makes the blanket.
Gauge: 4dc 2"x2"
*From here on out, take the tail of the other color and carry by putting the tail over the hook while you dc*
With 2nd color, dc in next 4 chains, but on your last dc, stop once you have 2 loops on your hook, use your color 1, and go through both loops.
Repeat to end of row. Finish the last DC with the same color. Ch 2, turn.
Row 2: dc in next 4 sts. Use next color on your last 2 loops of 4th dc. Repeat until end of row. (Switch to other color), ch 2, turn.
Rows 3-4 you will switch the colors to get the checkered pattern.
Repeat rows until desired length! (38 rows)

Research is an important part of student life, especially when an assignment requires information from books, academic journals, and reliable websites. I have realised that taking notes carefully and recording sources while researching can make the writing process much easier. It also helps prevent confusion when preparing the reference list at the end. Using a Free Plagiarism Checker Tool before handing in an assignment can help identify matching text that may need closer attention. Students exploring assignment writing help UK can also learn useful approaches to citation, paraphrasing, and structuring their ideas. I believe these small checks encourage academic honesty and help students produce work that reflects their own understanding of the subject.
