This pattern is for a blanket.I made it into a baby blanket,I give instructions for making it smaller or larger. I used a worsted 4 /aran weight yarn,you can also use a worsted 3/dk weight,or whatever weight you prefer as long as you adjust the stitch counts for your desired size.
Yes, i have seen patterns like this one.This is not a copy, this is my version of it.I prefer smoother lines and less blocky crochet,so I figured out a pattern to my liking in a size and stitch I preferred.I did not copy any parts of anyone elses pattern.
