Crochet Baby Blanket Pattern
Create a beautiful heirloom-style baby blanket with this elegant crochet design. Featuring an eye-catching combination of openwork panels, solid textured sections and a delicate scalloped border, this timeless blanket makes a thoughtful handmade gift for a new arrival.
Worked from the centre out in one continuous square, the blanket gradually builds through repeating rounds before being finished with a decorative scalloped edging. The combination of lace and solid crochet creates wonderful texture while maintaining a soft, lightweight feel.
