Crochet patterns can get complicated. And beautiful! While I do love intricate patterns, this baby blanket is one of my favorites due to its stunning simplicity.

Materials:

  • I (5.5 mm) hook
  • Optional J (6 mm) hook
  • Worsted Weight Yarn in 4 colors (I used Hobby Lobby’s “I Love This Yarn”) With my tension and hook size, I used approximately 710 yards
  • Scissors
  • Needle for weaving in ends

Finished Size:
With my tension and hook size, my blanket measures approximately 29 x 32 inches.
