Also available in Throw Size.

The Biased Braids Rainbow Baby Blanket makes a great gift to welcome a new life into the world. The colorful puffy braids on a seemingly woven background of linen stitches create a snuggly, beautiful blanket to keep a little one nice and cozy.

This adventurous beginner pattern is written for eight colors of worsted weight yarn (one background + seven colors), but you can make yours single-color, two-toned, a color fade, or you could even use variegated yarn for your “braids”- the options are endless!

And BONUS, the PDF is interactive- all the checkboxes are clickable on your computer, tablet, or even your phone! It’s perfect for crocheting on-the-go. And if you prefer things low-tech, you can print off your pattern and use your favorite writing utensil (you know the one) and mark off the same checkboxes manually. So whether you are Team Screen or Team Print, I got you. ;)

Pattern includes:

• clear and thorough written instructions
• full video tutorial (right- and left-handed)
• clickable checkboxes throughout the pattern to track your progress
• stitch counts throughout so you know you are on the right track
• tips for making your blanket look its best

• Hdc: Half double crochet
