It's chunky, soft, delicate, vibrant and timeless. What more could you ask for in an afghan? Let's add one more thing - it feels like it's made of clouds due to the Bernat Blanket yarn. It's so delicate and luxurious! It's a beginner level blanket, that will make the sweetest baby shower gift.
I love how this chunky blanket in the pictures below was made using creme yarn, because it allows the texture to really stand out, don't you think? What's more, it makes the ultimate, timeless baby gift. But watch out, once you feel how soft it is, there's no way you won't want to make one for yourself too!
To begin exploring the theme of a star-covered nap, here is a beautiful striped star baby blanket. In particular, its glorious stripes radiate outward with Bernat Baby Coordinates yarn, a soft and delicate touch for tender young skin.
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.
Following on, here is a little adaptation of The Bakewell Blanket by Stephanie with a beautiful, colorful edge. In particular, I appreciate the sharp transition from the base teal to the multihued edge: yum!

That said, how about thoroughly modern quilt inspired projects? To this point, here is an absolute gem that will match current design ideally.
While the Alpine Blanket has a beautiful texture and you can use it all year round, it is solid and warm and will be perfect for autumn. However it's also great for the evening chill or for trips outside the city. Although the pattern is designed as a baby blanket, you can easily make it lager. As you can see, it looks amazing no matter how many colors you use.
Of course, if a two-tone solid blanket doesn't do it for you, why not do an alpine blanket in rainbow hues? Since there is no reason not to, you definitely should.
