Baby Blocks Free Crochet Pattern

These blocks are so cute. They're soft, so they'll be a great grabbing and teething toy with a little one. As they get bigger they'll be great for practicing colors, letters, spelling and more. 

A wonderful versatile toy that can be used throughout the years

Note: each block is worked in two pieces. They work up the same, pattern notes when to stop the second piece since one will be smaller before connected.

Materials

4.5 mm hook

Worsted weight yarn

Needle

Scissors

Pattern

Make two:

Round 1: chain 2, 8 HDC in last, slip stitch (8)

Round 2: chain 1, (HDC in first, 2 HDC chain 1 2 HDC) repeat around (forms square)

Rounds 3-4: HDC in each stitch, (2 HDC chain 1 2 HDC) in chain stitches

Fasten off 1 at this point, continue other

Round 5: FLO HDC in each stitch and chain around

Round 6-12: HDC around

Fasten off

Line up corners of the pieces so it shapes a block (stitch markers helped this part for me) use tail end to sew. Stuff when you start sewing up the last side

Use different colored yarn to add letters if wanted
