Crochet Moss Stitch Baby Blanket – Samma’s Blanket
Samma’s Blanket is a beautiful and easy crochet Moss Stitch baby blanket worked in the round. The blanket is using 2 colors to create an eye-catching effect.
This Moss stitch crochet blanket is made by crocheting the Moss stitch in a square, making it perfect for a beginner crocheter with some experience.

I designed this blanket as a gift to a friend for her new niece. They named the baby ‘Samma’, which means ‘Soar’. I love this beautiful meaning and decided to name the pattern the same 🙂
The pattern is based on the Moss Stitch, but works this stitch in the round to create the square from the middle out (which spares you the long starting chain and creates a lovely effect).
To give more interest and texture to the blanket, there are a few rounds of single crochet stitch that add more depth to the pattern.

How to Change The Size Of This Blanket

If you want to make this blanket bigger, work the pattern up to round 80 (don’t work the last round), then go back to round 16 and repeat the pattern to the size you want.
