Often baby blanket crochet patterns are too complicated for beginners. This baby blanket is a great example of a very easy crochet pattern. The stitches in it are just single crochet, double crochet and the chain stitches. How much easier can it get than that?
I like this pattern because it is an easy, quick project that any beginner can complete. As a matter of fact I just made this blanket up for my new grandson.

Many beginners take on projects that are too complicated for them. Than they get discouraged and give up on crocheting forever. Not this pattern, it is both easy and beautiful and just perfect for a baby shower or coming home gift.
