This clever and easy baby blanket pattern uses simple stitch textures and color blocking to create the illusion of a military dress uniform.

While it’s written for one size, you can easily adjust the size of the pattern by adding extra border rows, or simply by increasing the starting chain (in multiples of two) until the blanket is the desired width (minus the border!).

This pattern makes a great charity blanket pattern for donating to the local Veteran’s hospital- I encourage you to look into donation options through your local crochet clubs!
