"This crochet baby blanket is considered a beginner friendly pattern. It is crocheted with a lightweight DK weight yarn from Paintbox Yarns. However, any comparable yarn will work for this pattern. This blanket is crocheted entirely with a Group Stitch, otherwise known as a Cluster Stitch. It is worked in simple back and forth rows that are turned after every row. This blanket can be worked all in one color, in a striped pattern or in a color block pattern that you see in the pictures. This baby blanket is simple yet stylish with a gorgeous texture."

"The Stars and Pom Poms Baby Blanket has a modern, elegant design with a lattice pom pom border on top and bottom of the blanket and a beautifully textured blanket made with the star stitch pattern. And, can I just say, this will make a gorgeous and stylish adult size afghan. The pattern is easy to adjust and you can make it as big or small as you want it to be. To make it easier for you, I created a full video tutorial that guides you step by step on how to crochet your own version of Stars and Pom Pom Baby Blanket."

"The Trudie Afghan is made for snuggling! Constructed with two tone solid granny squares and triangles, this cozy piece looks bold in any room and puts a modern spin on the traditional granny square afghan. For this project I decided to use Lion Brand Basic Stitch. This premium acrylic yarn is perfect for blankets. It's worsted weight, machine washable (and dryable!) and available in 18 colors. Each skein is 219 yards. For the Trudie Afghan you will need 10 balls of you main color and 5 of your contrast color. I used Cream as the main and Tourmaline for my contrast."

"The Essa is an 8″ crochet blanket square with a cozy texture. This simple crochet square features a two row repeat so it's an easy make! This blanket square crochets up as a nice solid fabric, so there aren't too many holes. I love how the stitches pop in the white yarn. The Essa is a worsted weight blanket square so this pattern will make a great stash buster. This square is part of the Cozy Fall Charity Make Along hosted by Knitting with Chopsticks and Noor's Knits. "

"I originally designed this pattern back in 2014 and it only included one baby size, but in it's recent update (2020), it has received a new name - Gia, which represents one of my series featuring designs made with one large continous granny square, and six more sizes including two photography blanket sizes perfect for layering, newborn, toddler, child, lapghan and throw. The newborn blanket size took me just over two hours 15 minutes to work up, so that's definitely a plus working with the super chunky yarn."
