Best Yarn
For great results it is always best to use the recommended yarn in the pattern materials section.
I have used Stylecraft Special DK in clementine, fondant and cream for the crochet raised v-stitch baby blanket, but there are lots of other colours to choose from.
Crochet Hook Size
Pattern asks for a 6.00mm crochet hook and 4.00mm for the border, but you can use larger hooks and thicker yarn if you want to make the blanket larger.
