Normally, I don't enjoy weaving. Perhaps it's because it just takes too much time. So this is a stretch for me, but I loved the finished product so much that decided to write the pattern down and share it with you.
This sweet and super cuddly baby blanket works up quickly and makes a lovely gift. Need a gift for a girl, use pink instead of the lt blue. Or if you don't know the baby's gender, try mint green or yellow. I've marked this an Easy+ pattern.plus because it involves crochet as well as weaving.
