Tricolor Alpine Stitch Baby Blanket
"Learn to crochet the alpine stitch and make a gorgeous baby blanket with rich texture! With the use of post stitches you can achieve these beautiful ridges, and pretty easily, too, once you get a feel for the technique! Believe it or not, the alpine stitch is a pretty mindless pattern once you get going. It’s a four row repeat but it feels like a two row repeat. Each set of two rows is very similar – just different enough to be a four row repeat officially."
