Learn to crochet a textural, cabled baby blanket with gorgeous ombre color changes and amazing softness! The Misty Dawn Crochet Baby Blanket pattern is an easy-to-memorize four-row repeat with enough variety in stitches to really keep things interesting!

I love the texture of crocheted cables, and these thin cables are super easy to learn, even if you’ve never done cabling before.

The bobblet stitches, or mini bobbles, are subtle, but add a fun effect as well.

The waistcoat stitch is very popular right now for its knit-like appearance! In my opinion it looks nicest when worked in the round, so it is perfect for a blanket border!

The whole blanket comes together beautifully with that amazing ombre yarn!!

I hope you enjoy this pattern!
