This Bake Shop Blanket is made up of 12 different bakery motif granny squares (all of which are listed individually on my profile, or through this link!) and several basic solid filler granny squares.

You can't ask for a better easy crochet pattern than this Quick and Easy Crochet Blanket. Crochet blankets make great handmade gifts, and this pattern is so easy to make. It takes about six hours, which would be the perfect Sunday afternoon crochet project. You can make it in any color you wish, and the homespun yarn is warm and cuddly, exactly as a blanket should be. If you leave the edge tasseled, the blanket also has a nice fringed look. The finished product is delightfully big, so get ready to cocoon down into your new favorite cold-weather companion.

I decided to use this stunning and yummy Red Heart Super Saver “Retro Stripes” to revamp my Optical Illusion Baby Blanket. I LOVE my first version… but not everyone wants to change colors THAT many times!!! The Red Heart Stripes worked up beautifully with this design… and with minimal yarn ends to weave in! The entire process of making this blanket was exciting. The color changes are different and unique with each square, preventing me from getting jaded."

One of my favorite crochet projects to work on is the humble and sweet baby blanket. Not only are baby blankets adorable, they're also super quick and easy to make.
