Starting Chain and Foundation Row

To begin, create a foundation chain using black yarn. You can customize the blanket’s size by making the chain as long as needed for your desired width.

After completing the foundation chain, work one single crochet (sc) in each chain across.

Stitch Pattern

This blanket uses simple single crochet stitches throughout. Chain 1 and turn at the end of each row. Work one single crochet in each stitch across.

Color Changes

Create the black-and-white stripes by changing yarn colors at the end of each row. Complete the final single crochet with the new color to make a smooth color change.

Carry the unused yarn neatly along the edge to reduce the number of ends you will need to weave in later.

Repeat Rows for Desired Size

Continue repeating the single crochet rows, alternating between black and white yarn, until your blanket reaches your desired length. Fasten off and weave in any remaining ends.

This crochet baby blanket can be done in any size hook and yarn. I used medium worsted yarn and G hook. I love how easy it is to make so it’s great for beginners! So simple, but so pretty! Gauge: 1.5 inches per 5 stitches with a G hook.

In the video, this pattern may look like the sides and bottom aren’t straight because I forgot chain 1 after the third row, which I explained in the video. Also, my bottom chain needed to be looser, which I also explained.

Abbreviations:

ch=chain

sc=single crochet

sl st=slip stitch

Row 1: I used purple in the video (or you can use black and white yarn) with a G hook, then white yarn. Any chain count works for this pattern. I did a chain count of 25 for a sample in the video.

Row 2: sc in the 2nd chain from the hook, and each chain across, Turn.

Row 3: ch 1, sc in each stitch across, Turn.

Row 4: Best show in the video, ch 1, *yarn over insert your hook in the first stitch, grab the yarn and pull up your loop, yarn over, insert your hook in the stitch directly below the first stitch, grab the yarn and pull up your loop, yarn over and pull your yarn through all loops on the hook. *Repeat for each stitch to the end. Turn

Row 5: chain 1, sc in each stitch across

Row 6: sl st in with a white yarn, Repeat row 4,

Row 7: Repeat row 3. with your white yarn.

Then sl st with purple yarn. So two rows of purple then two rows of white yarn.

Alternate between rows 3 and 4. Fasten off and weave in your ends when you have your desired length.

Modern Crochet Blanket Patterns

Modern crochet blankets offer a beautiful combination of comfort and contemporary style. This black-and-white crochet blanket showcases the timeless elegance of a monochromatic color scheme, making it a versatile addition to your home décor.

Drape the finished blanket over a couch, use it as a stylish throw, or give it as a thoughtful handmade gift. The simple stitch pattern and minimal color changes also make this an approachable project for crocheters of different skill levels.

Rows of Color and Minimal Color Changes

The alternating rows of black and white create the blanket’s striking design. Working with only two colors makes the pattern easy to follow while producing a bold and eye-catching result.

Change colors at the end of each row and carry the unused yarn neatly along the edge when possible. This technique reduces the number of loose ends that must be woven in after completing the blanket.

Soft Yarn for a Cozy Blanket

Choose a soft and comfortable yarn to make your finished blanket warm and inviting. Chenille, bulky, or other soft yarns can add extra warmth and enhance the texture of the project.

The yarn weight and hook size will also affect the finished blanket’s size and feel. A thicker yarn creates a warm, substantial blanket, while a lighter yarn produces a softer and more flexible fabric.

Congratulations! You have created a beautiful black-and-white crochet blanket using a simple stitch pattern and minimal color changes. Customize the size or experiment with different color combinations to make the design uniquely yours. This modern blanket is perfect for decorating your home, keeping warm on chilly evenings, or giving as a handmade gift.
