With just a few extra yarn overs, you can achieve that beautiful raised texture that makes this blanket stand out. It’s an enjoyable pattern for confident beginners and intermediate crocheters who love a little texture in their projects.
This blanket is worked carrying the colors up the sides, meaning you’ll have very few ends to weave in. A huge time saver! It’s also made using budget-friendly acrylic yarn, making it both affordable and durable. In fact, if you catch a good yarn sale, you can make this beautiful baby blanket for about $15. The soft acrylic fiber ensures it’s gentle on baby’s skin and easy to care for.
Perfect for everyday use.
To finish, the blanket is edged with one of my favorite borders. The Camel Stitch, which adds a neat, textured frame that complements the falling leaves design perfectly. Whether you’re crocheting a baby shower gift, a cozy nursery piece, or a keepsake for your own little one, the Tricolor Falling Leaves Baby Blanket is a joy to make and a treasure to give.
