Crochet starlight baby blanket, I love the combination of pink, lilac and white shades, I always think they look cool but cosy at the same time.
I have written the pattern for the crochet starlight baby blanket in a worsted weight #4 (Aran for UK crocheters) yarn, it grows quite quickly and will be great for gifts.
The stitches used in this free crochet pattern are simple double crochet (tr for UK) and single crochet (dc for UK) so beginners this is a good one for you too.

I have used King Cole Comfort Aran in candy pink, orchid and white for the crochet starlight baby blanket, but there are lots of other colours to choose from.
Crochet Hook Size
Pattern asks for a 6.00mm crochet hook, but you can use larger hooks and thicker yarn if you want to make the blanket larger.
