Dancing Tulips Crochet C2C Baby Blanket
Last Updated on June 15, 2026
This beautiful crochet C2C baby blanket is based on the Moss stitch, with delicate floral elements. Work from corner to corner to avoid the long starting chain and create a unique construction of a crochet baby blanket with flowers.
** This pattern is being released as a crochet-along in three parts **

I designed the baby blanket after releasing the Floral C2C Moss Stitch dishcloth. This design is based on the Moss stitch and worked from corner to corner. While you have the easy, relaxing rhythm of the C2C Moss, the leaves and flowers are a welcomed interuption, adding some interest to the pattern, creating a flower crochet baby blanket.
Another advantage of using the C2C method is that the edges of the blanket are straight and clean, so you don’t have to add a border (you can totally add one if you’d like!).

The Yarn I Used For My Diagonal Crochet Blanket
For the blanket you see in the photos, I used Knit Picks – Swish yarn. This is a 100% Fine Superwash Merino Wool Worsted (#4) weight yarn. It’s very soft with a beautiful stitch definition and beautiful colors.
You can use any Worsted weight yarn you have in your stash, the fiber content won’t matter in this pattern.
For my blanket, I used 3 colors, I know it’s not always easy to put colors together, so I put together a few color options for you. The shades mentioned are Swish yarn.
