Use this color palette (which is perfect for little boys), or change it up to match the babys room. You'll love the crochet edging on this intermediate project. You'll be proud to give this baby blanket to friends or family.

Give the baby in your life the gift of warmth and comfort this holiday season with this snuggly crochet afghan. The Reversible Baby Shell Blanket is a crochet afghan that's two-sided. Choose any two colors and follow this free crochet pattern to create a unique double-sided blanket. This project uses a shell stitch to create a diamond pattern throughout the entire blanket. The color used on the other side can be seen inside each diamond, so whichever side you have facing outwards will show both colors.

This modern double crochet v-stitch chunky blanket is a wedding gift. I have had this Caron One Pound yarn in my stash for a while now. Thought it was time to get something made with it. The blanket had to be large enough to cover a queen sized bed. As you can see from the photo, it is large enough. Not too large though so that one or two people can snuggle under it. Additionally, this had to be warm enough to be the go-to blanket on our cold winter nights. Using two strands of yarn makes this a fun and chunky blanket. It also makes for a very warm blanket. I will miss having this cover me up while crocheting when it is below zero here this week. Brrrr. The double crochet stitch is a quick stitch to master and once the pattern is started, there is really little need to count. For me, this makes for a great crochet pattern to work on while watching movies. I think this is a great beginner stitch once you have mastered the double crochet stitch. It is always easy to see where you need to insert your hook in the previous row.

To follow on with even more sunburst, have a look at these squares conjoined into a blanket. Since the borders are strongly stitched on all four sides of each square, the blanket is very robust and solid. However, the contrast means that the sunbursts are still super visible and form the central visual theme.

Without a doubt, this amazing afghan square demonstrates just how fancy such a project can be. The combination of alternating textures, voids and color gradients gives it a very life-like and vibrant quality.

So, this rainbow mosaic blanket is a beautiful combination of geometric diamond patterns and rainbow stripes. It's truly a classic.
