Monique is one of my favorite blanket patterns to make for The Linus Connection.
It’s easy, relatively fast, works well with just about any yarn and can be adapted to be a smaller or larger size. Make it with all one color or use up your leftovers!
I’m not including yarn amounts here because it really varies on what size you’d like to make and what kind of yarn you choose. The one shown is made with Caron Simply Soft.
You’ll need:
- The yarn of your choice, I prefer a soft worsted. Please note that the amount will vary depending on your choices.
- I hook – this is my preference, but it works with any size hook from G up to about a J, depending on yarn weight.
Ch 122 (or any multiple of 3 + 2)
Row 1: 1 hdc into third ch from hook, skip 1 st *(1sc, ch 1, 1 dc) in next st, sk 2 sts*, rep *to*, end of row, 1 sc in last st, ch 2, turn.
Row 2: 1 hdc in first st, (1 sc, ch 1, 1dc) in ch sp of previous row. 1 sc in ch 2 space, ch 2 turn.
Rep until blanket is approximately square or slightly rectangular.
For edging, continue pattern in ch sp around remaining 3 sides. Join with sl stitch and finish off.

Hi, Jennifer — This looks so lovely. So I can gauge how much yarn to use if I go with a size other than worsted, would you please let me know how many skeins of Caron Simply Soft you used for the Monique Baby Blanket shown above and what the finished size was? Thank you so much for sharing! — Anne
