Sara's Baby Blanket
"Introducing the Sara’s Baby Blanket Free Pattern. This is a beautiful beginner friendly baby blanket made with the blanket stitch and worsted weight yarn. I designed this baby blanket as a special gift for my niece Sara. She just had the most beautiful baby girl and I thought these colours would make a gentle blanket perfect for her cot or for her to lie on the floor when she wants to have a good kick and practice learning to roll over. She loves the blanket and I have had some great pics of baby with the blanket in her special chair. Sara’s Baby Blanket Free Pattern is created with beginner friendly stitches so even if you are new to crochet you can make this modern striped baby blanket to bring style to your nursery. There is the single crochet and double crochet stitch in the pattern for this blanket. It uses the blanket stitch throughout. It is made with Lion Brand Pound of Love yarn which is a worsted weight (4) yarn. Using an H hook for this project and the blanket stitch you will have a warm and snuggly baby blanket."
