This Cakes & Candles Baby Blanket is a wonderful lacy crochet project. It has two rows that repeat with easy ways to remember what you need to do into each set of stitches. You can use any yarn with the hook that is suggested on your yarn label. (Worsted size 4 would be amazing! Just use whatever you have on hand.) A larger hook will result in a softer blanket, so feel free to experiment!

Works up nicely

Love this pattern, it’s easy to do but you have to concentrate on your stitches. I made so many mistakes in mixing up my double crochets with the V stitch and kept having to rip out rows to fix the stitch. The blanket is so pretty and I used a multi color yarn and I just love it.

Another amazing pattern from Christa!!

As with all Secret Yarnery patterns, Cakes and Candles is simple to understand, the pattern is well written and easy to follow, and the results are fantastic! I’m already on my second blanket! Thanks Christa!

I love this pattern. It follows along with the video perfectly! I have started 2 of them! I couldn't wait to use the yarn I had!

Loving this pattern?

Your next make is waiting!

Every Secret Yarnery pattern is written in plain English, with no confusing abbreviations, so once you finish this one there is always another easy project ready for your hook.

Pair it with a cozy blanket, a granny square, a Drunken Granny, a sweater or shawl, a bag or basket, or a pretty crochet flower. Most come with step-by-step video tutorials for lefties and righties.
