Deegan’s Baby Blanket – A Textured, Cozy Treasure

Deegan’s Baby Blanket is a warm and snuggly crochet project featuring the beautiful Spiked Sedge Stitch. This stitch produces a rich, textured fabric with eye-catching spikes of color at every change.

I originally made this blanket for my grandson, Deegan. Now a toddler, it is his favorite. His mom says it’s been washed countless times and has softened up nicely, with barely any pilling. It’s a testament to how practical and durable this design truly is!

Features:

Fun and functional – the Spiked Sedge Stitch creates a dense, cushy texture perfect for little ones.

Creative colorwork – frequent color changes bring out the beauty of this design; use your stash to make it a charming scrap-buster!

Customizable sizing – stitch count math included for adjusting the size to suit your needs.

Easy-to-find yarn – works great with worsted weight (4) yarn, including variegated and solids.

Video support will be available at my YouTube channel.

Finished Size: Approximately 40” wide x 52” tall – a great size for a toddler blanket, stroller throw, or cozy lap blanket.

Color Planning Tips: Start with a variegated yarn and build your palette from there. Pick a coordinating color to highlight as the “pop” or dominant tone. In this sample, I used blue to contrast the earthy tones. You could also match your dominant shade to the strongest color in your variegated yarn — like brown — for a classic, more neutral look.

Whether you’re crafting a baby shower gift, a toddler favorite, or a cozy keepsake, Deegan’s Baby Blanket is a joy to make and sure to be treasured.

Add it to your queue or favorites and get ready to crochet a blanket full of heart!
