Crochet baby blanket

Crochet a baby blanket in small and cute granny squares. It can be used in a baby trolley as well as in bed. I’ve used organically colored cotton yarn, colors yellow, beige, pink, blue and brown from M&K (in Sweden).

Worked out the pattern by placing out all the squares meanwhile working. I rarely follow any pattern som this as well as my other items is one of a kind.

20130519-213347.jpg

Stich the squares together using the hook and finished the sides with three rowes of sc’s.

To make it extra soft and warm keeping I sew on a piece of cotton fabric on the uglier side. The blanket is washable in machine.
