No joining squares or sewing panels means less time spent on finishing and more time enjoying your beautiful project.
If you’ve ever wanted to try crochet colorwork, this pattern is a gentle introduction. Instead of managing multiple skeins or bobbins of yarn at once, you’ll only ever have two attached at the same time.
This makes it much easier to handle, while still giving you that classic, bold look of colorful crochet. The single crochet stitches keep the design straightforward, and the repetition allows you to relax and enjoy the process.
With a very detailed step-by-step photo tutorial included, even beginners who are comfortable with single crochet stitches will feel confident following along.
The result is a soft, cozy, and stylish blanket that can be customized to suit any nursery or theme. Whether you stick with traditional baby pastels or bold, modern shades, the Four Square Baby Blanket is a joyful project that proves simple stitches and smart design can go a long way.
