In the game Dungeons & Dragons, rolling a natural 20 is a stroke of awesome luck. Your next move is blessed with good fortune. So what better gift for your expecting D&D friend than a crochet D20 baby blanket in the image of a perfect roll for their little level one human.

There is something that makes you feel awesome when you see that 20 roll out of your hand. Your next hit will be a critical or you will succeed in the next challenge you face. It’s a great feeling that means an automatic win in that moment.

Is there really a bigger win than bringing home a new baby?

You really do feel like you rolled a natural 20 — like you’re the luckiest person in the world.

Construction

This blanket is constructed in a series of triangle with varying degrees of angles to create a sort of “triangle quilt.”

Each piece is made separately then stitched together with single crochets to add a little texture on the edge lines.

There is one large equilateral triangle in the center, three obtuse triangles around the outside of that, and then six narrow triangles with angles that allow them to create the final dice shape we all love.

The “20” on the center triangle is surface stitched on to keep that center piece flat as if the number were painted onto the blanket.

There are a few adjustments that need to made while attaching parts to keep the tips pointed, and if you are not a pro at assembling granny squares, the Premium Pattern may be your best option.

The Premium Pattern contains a BUNCH of photos of how to work the single crochets when attaching the pieces as well as how to evenly create a border around each triangle for easier attachment.

I highly recommend this photo-heavy Premium Pattern. This pattern is much easier to read with a lot of visual references that are too big to post on the blog.

Purchase this pattern as a Premium Pattern! Premium patterns are printable, ad-free, downloadable .pdf file with extra assembly photos and unlimited one-on-one help from me. This version can be purchased in the Hooked by Kati Shop,  Etsy or Ravelry.

Pattern Notes

  • Side Triangles have a ch-3 at the beginning of each row to compensate for the stretch required in the slope of the triangle.
  • For best results, assemble parts in order as directed.
  • Weave in attachment ends at very end of project in case pieces require repositioning.
