🌸 New Free Crochet Pattern: The Iris Stitch Blanket


Hey friends,

I’ve got a brand new free crochet pattern for you, the Iris Stitch Baby Blanket! This one’s soft, airy, and crazy easy to make (seriously, if you can chain and double crochet, you’ve got this).

The best part? You can customize it to any size — from a tiny baby blanket to a full throw. The stitch has a gorgeous open texture that looks way more complicated than it is, and it works up beautifully in any yarn color combo. Please note that if you make this blanket larger then the accent stripe instructions are not included. Just decide where you want to add them.

In the post, I walk you through:

  • How to crochet the Iris Stitch step by step
  • Stitch abbreviations and how to read the pattern
  • Tips for adjusting the blanket size
  • And the full pattern including the shell border
