Basketweave stitch can be used for so many fun projects (sky is the limit here, trust me!), but in my experience, it works especially great in crochet blankets and baby hat patterns. And look how sweet these pastel colors look!

To begin with, here is a baby blanket with raised, angled ridges. Overall, these will give the sprog something to explore, but also leave insulating pockets of air to keep her nice and warm.

To begin with, the rainbow pastel colors of Stylecraft Special DK yarn underline the delicacy and beauty of the feather and fan stitch. Consequently, this color combo definitely is a good idea for a baby shower and goes well with any newborn clothes.

Next, here is another classic solution for a baby cover in diamonds. Without a doubt, the lovely crocheted edge greatly enhances the traditional diamond stitch. Moreover, the use of bamboo fibres enhances the sustainability of the product as well as giving it some additional, desirable properties.

Continuing, here is a feather and fan stitch baby blanket using the same techniques. Although, or perhaps because, it is created only with 2 hues of TLC Baby Solid yarn in white and blue-ish Bunny Print, it is simple and elegant. At the same time, it is an outstanding blanket with an intriguing texture.

However, here are some even cuter amigurum crab siblings to enjoy. Overall, this is a super pattern for a beginner to make, but also to use up your stash of yarn bits.
