DOTS AND DASHES BLANKET AND HAT CROCHET PATTERN - Perfect for little girls and boys!
Written in USA crochet terms - For UK terms click HERE
Crocheted with alternate rows of contrasting bobbles and filet stitches.
You can make it with stripes or make it ‘all in one colour’ if you like!
I have kept it neat by adding a smart ribbed border, but if you prefer a simple plain edging, just add two rounds of Htr (USA Hdc) stitches instead!
I have included the ‘multiple number’ in pattern for altering the size 😊 (more yarn will be needed to make it larger)
I have also added a matching hat for you to make, with 6 sizes from prem baby up to 18 months.
