I think that’s pretty impossible to resist to this supercute crocheted baby blanket. This design was inspired by the latest arrival in my enlarged family: the little Gioele, a wrinckly newborn that will fear no cold this winter, protected by the mighty Frog King.

Suggested Materials

I used Mondial Merino Soft (52% merino wool, 48% acrylic) because I’m in Italy and this is one of the best brand you can find. For those far from Mondial Wool, any replacement of your choice can be used since the pattern doesn’t call for any gauge in particolar. I recommend Caron Simply Soft for the perfect price and quality combo. I used a double strand to enlarge the grid and to obtain a bulkier and softer project.
