"This adorable crochet baby blanket makes for the perfect gender neutral baby blanket gift. This blanket would also make for a nice photo prop as well for a baby photo shoot. The textured stripes are created by just 2 stitches worked in the back loop only. The Lion Brand Go For Faux border also adds for a nice texture as well. The Color Made Easy yarn makes for nice stitch definition as well as a nice cozy blanket. "
