Crochet Baby Blanket Pattern – This simple baby blanket is a lovely addition to my baby jumpsuit, cardi and hat patterns. Team them all up to give as a shower or welcome home gift.
This lovely design is crocheted in a alternate shell and V stitch pattern, edged with a variegated yarn, once you get going you will find it will grow quickly and will look delightful when finished.
