Ribbed Crochet Baby Blanket

Design by Candy Lifshes from Meladora’s Creations.

This Ribbed Crochet Baby Blanket is very warm. Makes a great blanket for the stroller or as a comforter in the dead of winter. Each strip of color on this afghan almost took a full skein of yarn to create. It’s a real yarn eater, but the blanket is spongy and warm and worth the effort I promise!

The pictures don’t do this blanket justice, it’s so textured and pretty! Would make a great baby gift.
