The cross stitch gives this crochet baby blanket a pretty design. It’s mindless to work on, and can be crocheted to any size that you need. I used a baby yarn, but if making it into a larger blanket you can use any other yarn that you like.

I love the solid color with the cross stitch, but I can also see this in a pretty striped design. You could work it up in blocks by working the stitch pattern rows several times before changing colors. Or, you could assign a different color to each stitch, which I personally would love to try. Either way, I’m sure you will love your new blanket.

It’s a fairly solid blanket, making this great for the cold winter months. Or, you could also use this as a floor blanket throughout the year. Another option would be to increase the length and use it as a crib blanket.
