I am a huge fan of this pattern. It creates a lacy, delicate-type look that will always stay in style. You will use a worsted weight yarn, and you’ll need several skeins to get the size desired. The pattern calls for a K crochet hook. I love the colors that the creator used, but it would be beautiful in lighter colors as well if you wanted to keep it more muted. Get this Blanket HERE

The Lazy Waves Blanket might be one of my favorites. It is thick and soft, yet very easy to make. I love it as a stash buster. What is a stash buster? It is when you can use up a bunch of different yarn that you have in your closet. If you collect enough yarn, you end up having some left that isn’t big enough for any other project, but who wants to toss it out? The Lazy Waves blanket lets you add plenty of scraps. You will need worsted weight yarn or two strands of thinner yarn. It uses an I crochet hook! Get this Blanket HERE

Daisy Cottage Designs is at it again with another free baby blanket pattern. If you are a parent, you will want to create all of her projects. A ripple blanket is slightly different than a chevron blanket because it lacks the points. It is more of a wave rather than a point, which some people to prefer.
