Check out this newborn crochet blanket, a perfect knit like crochet baby blanket to practice the basic Tunisian crochet stitches.
This one turned out so cute, I had to share! I made this blanket for my niece using cotton yarn! It’s so nice to have the option of a bulky yarn in cotton for making a quick crochet blanket! With little ones, there’s always a chance they’ll be allergic to wool so here is an alternative to make a bulky cotton blanket! This one is super fun to work up, with Tunisian knit stitch worked on the bias and a simple join-as-you-go honeycomb border finished off with 2 half double crochet rounds and duplicate stitch hearts! I hope you love making it as much as I did!
