Easy to Crochet Peach Peek a Boo Top

If you are looking for a gorgeous, quick, and easy baby blanket crochet pattern, this is it! Grab your hook and whip up a Pique-A-Boo Baby Blanket using this fun and free pattern.

Pique-A-Boo Blanket

When asked if I would design a brand new pattern for a brand NEW yarn line from WeCrochet… of course I said yes. This new Heatherly yarn is available in DK weight (size 3) and worsted weight (size 4). I decided to use the worsted weight for this, and in four different colors. I can not tell you how much I love this new yarn. The way it works up, and the way these colors compliment each other so well. It is so very gorgeous!

The Pique-A-Boo blanket is a play on words for Peek-A-Boo because we are using the Pique stitch to crochet it – and for babies, of course. These colors are muted in the most wonderful way. I just adore the feel and drape of this yarn.

Materials:

Heatherly Worsted Weight Yarn (80% Acrylic/20% Merino Wool) approx. 1340 yards total
-Color "A" – approx. 430 yards (Agave pictured)
-Color "B" – approx. 310 yards (Peach Fuzz pictured)
