This blanket has the most fabulous texture, with interesting pattern and simple border. Actually I used the same stitch on the whole blanket; it’s V stitch. So it is easy enough for total beginners to crochet. That said, it’s still a great pattern for advanced crocheters. It works well when ever you need a fast baby blanket crochet pattern and it can be made in any color yarn that matches the baby’s room.
I used two colors but you also can go beyond that, combining colors in unique ways, to make even more impressive crochet baby blanket. Of course, you could always increase the size of the blanket if you wanted an adult afghan in this style.
