The Avery Baby Blanket is a beautiful crochet blanket using a stitch that creates a solid and warm fabric. The pattern is mainly made up of one stitch from beginning to end. This blanket was made with Rainbow Bamboo yarn by Hobbii in the colors White (#1), Cool Gray (#5), and Sky Blue (#13) with a 3.0 mm hook. If you’re using a different size yarn, adjust the hook size according to the yarn and follow the instructions to create a blanket for your desired length and width.

PATTERN TIPS
