10 Free Crochet Moss Stitch Blanket Patterns (Easiest Blankets)
Moss stitch blankets are lightweight, flexible, and super easy to crochet. You can cozily wrap them in spring. So, I have rounded up these free crochet moss stitch blanket patterns for beginners so you can learn how to make this stitch and implement it in such useful and warm items. Although a slightly larger project, the repetitive pattern of moss, linen, or granite (whatever you call it!) does not take extra effort and yarn. You can complete one in a day or so. So, let’s get started!
How to Crochet Moss Stitch?
Moss stitch does not need any complex pattern to remember; it is a one-row repeat stitch. Below are the step-by-step guidelines for this:
- Make a slipknot on your hook. (Learn 2 ways for slip knot)
- Foundation row: Chain an even number of stitches.
- Row 1: Single crochet (sc) in the 4th chain from the crochet hook.
- Now, chain one (ch 1), skip the next chain, then single crochet (sc) in the next chain.
- Keep going with this pattern (ch 1, skip 1, sc in next) until you reach the end of your chain.
- Row 2: When you’re at the end, turn your workaround.
- Chain 2 (ch 2). Then, single crochet (sc) in the chain one space, chain one (ch 1), and skip the next single crochet.
- Finish Row Two: Keep repeating the pattern (sc in ch 1 space, ch 1, skip 1) until you get to the end of the row.
- Keep Going: Keep repeating the second row. Every new row starts with a chain one, and then a single crochet in the chain one space, all the way to the end.
- When your piece is as big as you want, cut your yarn, pull it through the last stitch, and weave in the ends.
How is Moss Stitch Blanket Crocheted?
Moss stitch blankets, like other blankets, start with a large number of foundation chains (depending upon the width you want), then repeat the same stitch back and forth until you get the desired height.
Many crochet moss stitch blankets will also use stripes and panels of various colors (it is easy to start a new color), embellishments like poms, and many use various borders around. You can easily learn from the patterns.
How to complete the blanket faster?
If you want a blanket of a particular height in a faster way, you can use bulky or super bulky yarn for it. However, this weight of yarn is much more difficult to work for beginners. Since chunky blankets are warmer, it may not be good for blankets intended to be used in spring.
Tip: Always make sure you use a crochet hook you are comfortable with. By most experts, egnormic crochet hooks are considered the most comfortable ones.
