The Tender Days Blanket is a cozy crochet baby blanket pattern made for cuddling up with someone new. A soft center panel comes together in easy, repeating rows of double and single crochet, some crocheters call it a linen stitch crochet blanket, and a two color border ties the whole piece together with texture and a bit of contrast.

This beginner crochet baby blanket pattern uses only basic stitches, so it works up quickly even if you have never made a blanket before. It comes written in ten sizes, from a small baby blanket all the way up to a king size throw, so the same simple construction fits a nursery gift or a full bed topper.
