This fan stitch baby blanket has a gorgeous texture to it on both sides of the fabric. The fans curl a bit creating a small bump at the
The finished size measures about 31.5″ square. It’s the perfect blanket for a newborn boy or girl. Crochet it in a single color as shown, or go for some pretty stripes.
For some reason I had problems with the edging. The first time around I crocheted it using the same hook as I had used for the blanket, but it ruffled a bit. I figured a smaller hook might work, but it still didn’t lay flat. My next possible solution? I blocked it. Call me a cheater, but it worked. Hope you enjoy.

Lovely pattern, but you neglected to mention how much – yardage/meterage – yarn is necessary.
Thank you.
Sorry about that. I worked off one of the big balls that come in 14oz, and had a small amount left over.
I LOVE this blanket!!! The stitch is so pretty!
