Simple Seeded Lace Baby Blanket ~ FREE Crochet Pattern

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

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. Here is another baby blanket crochet pattern that you might enjoy.
