If you aren’t sure how to crochet a baby blanket, this pattern is perfect for you! Thicker blankets are easier to crochet, warmer for baby, and fun to have around. And it’s very simple but elegant.
You can use this stitch for boys and girls, you can use one color like me or more colors you chose. With all this, you could always increase the size of the blanket if you want to make a throw for your livingroom.
