Ever wanted to crochet a blanket that looks like it came from a fairytale? This gorgeous crochet dragon scales baby blanket pattern is exactly what you need! This free pattern from Make It Crochet creates an incredibly textured afghan using a unique combination of regular crochet and Tunisian crochet mitered squares. The best part? You won’t even need a special long Tunisian hook to tackle this intermediate project.
This design is truly unique because the two sides offer different textures! The even-numbered rows create a smooth fabric that looks a little like leaves, while the odd-numbered rows produce a gorgeous wave-like texture – the reason for the “Dragon Scales Baby Blanket” name. Though technically the wrong side, it’s absolutely gorgeous! At 32 by 39 inches, this blanket is a beautiful, handmade gift that’s totally worth the estimated 23 hours of crochet time.
