Crisscross Baby Blanket

Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Category: Crocheting

Type of item: Functional

For: Children

Style: Classic, Cute


Materials

Bernat Softee Baby yarn

What was your inspiration?

Two of my favorite friends were having a baby, and I really wanted to make something special for them that would be beautiful but that they could also use. Enter the crisscross baby blanket.

What are you most proud of?

It was a complete surprise to my friends, and not only did they love it, but they also used it. Nothing makes me happier than seeing a baby under or wrapped in a blanket I made.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

This is a great project for a beginner. It looks intricate, but it's really just double crochet and half double crochet with a little X thrown in. Give it a try!

It's from the Leisure Arts leaflet Make One for Baby. It's probably available at one of the big box craft stores (Michaels, Hobby Lobby, and I just saw one at Joann a couple of Saturdays ago), but you can also get it from Amazon. It's shown in white in the leaflet, but I liked the lemon color. Hope you get the pattern and enjoy doing it! I loved it!
