Simple Crochet Lace Baby Blanket

The simple crochet lace baby blanket is worked up in rows with the seed stitch and an open stitch to create a bit of lace. It’s perfect for both baby boys and girls.

This baby blanket is not only very pretty in lace and texture, but it also looks great on both sides of the fabric!

Here is a close-up of the front side:

And here is a close-up of the back side:

The pattern includes a simple edging for a boy, and a slightly prettier one for a girl. And you can increase/decrease this to any size you need from a cute little lovey to a full-sized afghan.

Best of all, this is a fairly mindless crochet pattern, which makes it great for relaxing at the end of the day. And, I’m sure this would also look lovely if worked in pretty stripes.
