As soon as my daughter told me her sister-in-law was expecting a baby girl, I immediately began to look for a crochet baby blanket pattern.
I love vintage-type colors. I love color combinations that go beyond a basic “blue for boy and pink for girl”. So when I stumbled across this combination, compliments of Pinterest, I knew this was it.
For this blanket, I used Caron One Pound yarns in rose, succulent and off white. I did a simple continuous granny square with a single crochet border. Very simple, easy and quick.
I typically make my blankets bigger than normal as I like for them to be able to use them as toddlers. I remember when I was pregnant with Shelby and some kind soul made a blanket for her. She slept with that thing until she was 10 years old! It was her “pink blankie” and she loved it to shreds. Literally. It was beyond repaid when we finally laid it to rest.
So whenever I make a blanket, I like to give it some room to grow.
Do you have any favorite color combinations that are a little outside of the box?
