Fan Stitch Baby Blanket

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 back, while creating a lovely texture at the front as well. The bumps at the back remind me of white puffy clouds floating in the sky.

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. Either way, this crochet baby blanket pattern is going become a favorite among your family and friends.
