This fun & easy Baby Alien Blanket crochet pattern might be my favorite corner to corner (c2c) crochet design yet! You just need a J 6mm crochet hook and worsted weight yarn. Crochet along to the pixel graph or follow the written instructions (written for right handed & left handed crocheters).

Blocking is the process of adding moisture into a crochet piece to finish it. It allows you to reshape the crochet piece. I don’t know about you guys but when I finish a corner to corner project, it usually needs to be blocked. If you’re like me, don’t feel badly! It’s super easy to block crochet. Once dry, it will be perfect rectangle.
You’ll need blocking boards, pins for blocking and a plastic spray bottle.
If you don’t know how to block, you can watch my video tutorial where I show you how!
