Ocean blue baby blanket, I’ve been playing around with different designs and colors this week, for this pretty free crochet baby blanket I came up with a combination of alternating blues and creams and a mixture of half double crochet v stitch and single crochet stitches, the colors can be changed for ones of your choice, have a play around.
The sample is made in a light worsted acrylic yarn, any yarn of the same ply can be used though including cotton for the summer months.
It is a quick and easy pattern to follow, hope you enjoy.
