This is one of my absolute favorite stitches. I was in love with the moss stitch before I learned how to do it C2C, but now it’s sealed it’s spot as my favorite.

This simple c2c moss stitch baby blanket shows off the beautiful simplicity of this stitch while working up amazingly quickly.

I am a huge fan of baby blankets (as anyone who has been around here a while will attest to!) and I also love ones that are easy and work up quickly. This one fits the bill for both!

The Bernat Blanket Dappled yarn is awesome – the subtle color changes in the same familiar blanket yarn we all know and love. I made this blanket in record time.

Simple C2C Moss Stitch Baby Blanket

What You’ll Need

Yarn: Bernat Blanket Dappled, 2 skeins Wandering Blue

Hook: US Size N/P (10.00mm)

Notions: Yarn needle, scissors

Gauge:

Finished Size:

Notes: Ch 3 at beginning of row counts as a stitch.

How to Crochet: Simple C2C Moss Stitch Baby Blanket

Pattern

Ch 3.

Row 1: Sc in 3rd st from hook; turn (you will end with a ch-3 space and a sc).

Row 2: Ch 3, skip sc, sc in ch-3 space; turn.

Row 3: Ch 3, skip sc, (sc, ch 1, sc) in ch-3 space; turn.

Row 4: Ch 3, skip sc, sc in ch-1 space, ch 1, skip sc, (sc, ch 1, sc) in ch-3; turn. space; turn.

Row 5: Ch 3, *skip sc, sc in ch-1 space, ch 1; repeat from * to last sc, skip sc, (sc, ch 1, sc) in ch-3; turn.

Repeat row 5 until edge measures ____″ from beginning (or desired measurement). I worked until my first skein was out of yarn.

Decrease

Row 1: Ch 3, *skip sc, sc in ch-1 space, ch 1; repeat from * to last sc, skip sc, (sc, hdc) in ch-3; turn.

Row 2: Ch 2, skip first 2 sts, *sc in ch-1 space, skip sc, ch 1; repeat from * to last 2 ch-1, sc in ch-1 space (do NOT ch 1 here), skip sc, sc in ch-3 space; turn.

Repeat row 2 until the next to last row, when there are only 3 sc, placing the last sc of each row in the ch-2 space.

Next to last row: Ch 2, skip sc, sc in ch-1, sc in ch-2 space (do NOT ch 1 before this st); turn.

Last row: Ch 1, sc in ch-2 space.

Fasten off.

See what I mean? Easy peasy! You can add a border to this if you like, but I really liked the way it looked without one so I left it. It’s so soft and squishy – I just love it!

    Amanda,
    Love this stitch, pattern, and your tutorial! With the Bernat Dappled Baby Blanket yarn, did you start in the middle of the “cake” skein or on the outside? Thanks so much!

      Hi Gloria! I started from the middle of the skein. 🙂

        Amanda, it’s Gloria again! I can’t tell you how much I LOVE your pattern. I’ve made one for my new great niece using the pink Ever After dappled, another using Posy Purple, and am now making a larger one (using 3 skeins) in Crocus Faerie. Everyone is raving!

        However, in this larger one, I am having issues beginning to decrease. I’ve looked at your instructions over and over but can’t seem to make the corners lie flat and the edges look pulled where I am decreasing. Somehow I am messing up Row 2 in the decreasing section.

        Can you help? Thanks so much!
        Gloria

          Hi Gloria! Sorry I have been on a family vacation and just returned. I’m not sure why this particular blanket would be having problems when the others didn’t because it can be adjusted for any size. It should be the same method for turning the corners and then working the decreases.

          Maybe this video for the smaller c2c moss stitch washcloth would help – https://youtu.be/PQrND4L9ms0 Same technique, different size and yarn.
