If you've recently found yourself scouring through blankets and crochet patterns on the internet, stop. The search is over. This Heart Graphgan crochet baby blanket is a dream.
This pattern is fun and exciting. You'll get to learn the graphing technique which is different from a lot of baby blankets. It involves keeping count and using multiple balls of yarn. While this baby blanket is unique, baby blanket patterns can also have similarities. Their shape and baby blanket size; even the color palette in some cases.
There are lots of easy crochet stitches for blankets to be made but this one is special. And don't you want to make a personalized baby blanket if you're going to put the effort in?
This baby blanket crochet project has a big heart in the middle crocheted out of soft yarn.
The baby blanket dimensions are easily adjustable too. You could easily add stitches to each side of the blanket to make it bigger. I wouldn't alter the size of the heart though unless you have experience with it.
