Baby Fade Blanket starts with the lightest color and then fades to the darkest color. This pattern is a fun way to explore color gradients or even just color- blocking with 3 contrasting colors. The simple stitches produce a blanket that lets the yarn shine and the colors stand out without being too complicated. Baby Fade Blanket will become your go-to pattern for a quick baby gift for friends and family welcoming new babies into their lives.
