This baby blanket is on the lighter side making it a great blanket for throughout the year. Use an acrylic yarn for the winter and for the summer use a light cotton yarn to protect the little ones without overheating them. The stitch pattern used is called the blossom stitch, which is easy and mindless to work with once you get past the first few rows. Crochet this in one color as shown or use up your stash to work in pretty colors for both boys and girls."
