Crochet Modern Moss Stitch Blanket by Daisy Farm Crafts
We fell in love with this simple and classy free crochet pattern of a modern blanket by Daisy Farm Crafts that uses a basic moss stitch to create a timeless masterpiece. It will look so lovely on your couch or chair and will go well with modern farmhouse decor.
As we all know, baby blankets don’t necessarily stay just in the nursery and are used to comfort a baby at any time of the day (or night) or for ‘tummy time’ (in the middle of the living room), so you may want to crochet a baby blanket that is so neutral, that it will blend well with any decor.
Though the original pattern is for a 60″x30″ blanket (or throw), you can easily convert it into any size you’d like. Just chain any even number of stitches to reach your desired size (32″x32″ for a traditional baby blanket).
If you are not familiar with a basic moss stitch, check our moss stitch tutorial for step-by-step instructions and you can master it in no time!
