The Alessio is a striking but easy crochet baby blanket pattern. The textured rows are placed evenly throughout an easy double crochet blanket. 
To really customize this baby blanket a few stripes in the stitch pattern are highlighted in your chosen color. With baby boys in mind I chose a beautiful sea blue for this blanket. The border on this crochet blanket pattern is my favorite part. The reversal of the colors brings this blanket together in a lovely way.

The Alessio Blanket is a beginner-friendly crochet blanket pattern worked in classic double crochet with a striped, textured layout that looks far more intricate than it is. Whether you are making your very first blanket or looking for a reliable go-to pattern you can scale from a tiny lovey to a king-size bed throw, this pattern grows with you.
