Snowy Mountains Crochet Baby Blanket (Free Pattern and Video)

The Snowy Mountains Baby Blanket by Hannah of Daisy Farm Crafts is a cozy navy blanket scattered with little snowcapped mountains in aqua and white. The mountains are worked right into the fabric with simple color changes, and the textured stitch makes the blanket thick and squishy. It is a perfect gift for an outdoorsy family or a mountain-themed nursery.

How the Mountains Are Made

Each mountain is a small triangle built row by row. You start with a wide base in aqua and work fewer colored stitches on every row, so the triangle narrows to a peak, then finish the top in white for the snowcap. The unused colors are carried across the back of the work, so you don't need to cut the yarn at every change. The blanket has seven rows of mountains.

The Border

A round of double crochet is followed by several rounds that alternate front and back post double crochet. This creates a ribbed border that frames the mountains and keeps the edges straight.

Tips for Neat Color Changes

• Carry the yarn loosely across the back so the blanket does not pucker.
• Change colors on the last pull-through of the stitch before the new color.
• Keep the mountains lined up by counting the background stitches between them.
