The East coast had a huge blizzard at the end of January, leaving many of us snowed in for two to three days. If you’re a crocheter like me, that’s probably lead you to start stocking up on baby yarn every time you see a sale. “Why is that,” you ask? Because I’m anticipating an over abundance of baby showers in October.
1. Purely Square Baby Throw
This is my go to pattern, the photo above is of a gift I made last year. The pattern works up fairly quickly, and by using variegated yarns you can create different patterns. Each time you stitch this up you can have a whole other look to the final piece. My favorite yarn to use is Lion Brand Babysoft, it is super soft and has a great color selection.
