Stranded colorwork, using two colors in any given row, brings vibrance to this blanket worked in Tunisian simple stitch. The pattern is one of eight in a Leisure Arts book, Tunisian Crochet Baby Blankets.

You will need a Tunisian crochet hook, either a long, rigid one or a shorter hook with a flexible plastic extension. Sample uses 4 skeins of white, 3 skeins of soft navy, and 2 skeins of yellow. If you choose to line the blanket, you will need a piece of fabric to fit your finished blanket.
