For this baby blanket crochet pattern, I used Lion Brand Ice Cream yarn in Coffee and Mint— and honestly, the yarn made this project extra fun for me. The color transitions in this yarn is one of my favorites, and two colors blend together in a really fun and interesting way. This blanket requires 1,576 yards of yarn in total. So, you’ll require 4 skeins of Lion Brand Ice Cream yarn in the standard 394 yd skein size, or 2 skeins of the Lion Brand Ice Cream “Big Scoop” skeins which have 1,117 yds each.
It’s a pretty precise amount of yarn, but keep in mind that it might be a little more or less if you use a different yarn. Variations in yarn weight and thickness, and even subtle differences in tension can cause you to need more or less yarn. The good news is that this pattern is pretty flexible when it comes to yarn substitution, so feel free to pick whatever lightweight yarn you love best. Just be sure to check your gauge and adjust your hook size if needed — that’s the key to making sure your cover fits a driver the way it should.

Pixel Perfect Baby Blanket Crochet Pattern Notes
This blanket was inspired by the traditional entrelac crochet technique where each block is crocheted one at a time. However, to avoid extra ends to weave in, and to make it a little more fun and interesting, we’ll use a corner to corner technique as well. So you’ll start this blanket by crocheting the first corner block, flip it, and add two blocks on the next row as you would do for a classic corner to corner crochet project. It’s loads of fun!
It’s important to check your gauge so your blanket doesn’t end up too big or too small. Adjust the hook size if you need, to obtain gauge.
Finished Size: 39″ x 39″
Gauge:
Each block measures about 2″ wide
To check your gauge, follow the pattern to crochet the first block and measure it. It should be about 2” wide. If it measures smaller, start over with a larger crochet hook. If it measures larger, start over with a smaller crochet hook. Usually adjusting by one hook size is enough to match the gauge.
Unlike regular crochet stitch patterns, one Tunisian crochet row, and round is made up of a forward pass and a return pass.
During the forward pass, you collect stitches on the hook. In the return pass, you work those stitches off the hook. For each row, you’ll see instructions for both the forward and return passes. You’ll also need to bind off the last row to finish it neatly and match the rest of the fabric.

Increase Repeat:
Each new increase level consists of a “first block”, which follows the first block pattern of level 3, “middle blocks”, which follows the middle block pattern of level 3, and a “last block”, which follows the last block pattern of level 3.
You should continue with level 4 by repeating the level 3, first block pattern. Then follow the middle block pattern of level 3 for all middle blocks. And finish the new level by following the level 3, last block pattern.
Every time you add a new level, you increase by one middle block.
As you continue adding more levels, you should follow the first block pattern first, then the middle block pattern for all middle blocks, and finally, the last block pattern last.
Continue in this manner until you have a total of 21 blocks along the bottom edge. Then continue to the decrease levels.
Decrease Level 1: First Block Pattern

Decrease Repeat:
Each new decrease level is made up of a “first block”, which follows the first block pattern of decrease level 1, as well as middle blocks and end blocks, which both follow the decrease level 1, middle block & last block pattern.
You should continue adding decrease levels by repeating these block patterns. Every time you add a new decrease level, you’ll decrease the total number of blocks by 1.
Continue in this manner until you have one block remaining. Then continue to the final block pattern.
