This is a blanket made by using very basic stitches. Perfect for a beginner or advanced crocheter!
It is also a project that can be done with very little concentration, making it perfect for tv nights, or if you want to chat with your fellow crocheters and knitters.
Note: I used Berroco Comfort yarn, but this blanket can be done in any worsted weight or heavier.
*YARN: Berroco Comfort:
2 - Color 9755 (Red)
2 - Color 9807 (Natural)

*TAPESTRY NEEDLE
Crib size: 42x35 in.
To make it bigger, increase the number of chain stitches by 12 until desired size is reached.
Not necessary to check your gauge. As long as you're using a worsted weight or heavier, the blanket can be modified to a size you want.
