"Looking for a gender neutral baby blanket to gift to expecting parents? Look no further. This crochet pattern for a gingham baby blanket will be the perfect gift for any parents who are keeping their baby's gender hush-hush. You will need to know how to chain, single crochet, and slip stitch. This baby blanket with my tension ended up approximately 37 inches x 33 inches. My swatch of 10 stitches x 10 rows is approximately 2.5 inches x 2.5 inches. My baby blanket is 15 blocks wide and 13 blocks tall (block = 10 st x 10 rows), you can alter this as you see fit to make a larger or smaller blanket. I prefer to end each row and column on an odd number so that all corners end in white, for example. All pictures and patterns are copyright of The Loophole Fox unless otherwise noted.

Fox Pillow
Here's a super quick project using Bernat Blanket yarn for the kiddos in your life. What's cuter than a Fox Pillow to snuggle up with or open him up and lie your head on?! I used a 12”x22” pillow form (or you could opt to use Polyfil). For the face, I used a small amount of Polyfil. With the basis of my pattern, you can change up your yarn color and make virtually any animal you would like. My two youngest grandsons really love this fox - only problem is, though, is that they want to ride him like a horse..lol.
C2c Princess Carriage Cushion
The C2C princess carriage cushion crochet pattern easy skill level. You'll need to know the C2C technique before starting as this is a pattern not a tutorial. Each block is made up of 3 dc. Ive included the C2C graph to this post for free. If you prefer written instructions along side a graph you can purchase my printable PDF from my Etsy or Ravelry store.
