This blanket is not original or unique. It doesn’t have any surprises, but it is one I’ve done time and time again. It works up quickly and it is join as you go, so there are no squares to sew together in the end.

It is worked up first as a strip, then the next strip is attached to the edge as you go. Crocheting over ends also helps to save time in the long run.

For my blanket I used Bernat Softee Baby Chunky in three colors. I used two skeins each of the solid colors and three skeins of the variegated. Note, the variegated yarn is not sold in the same yardage, so make sure you get three skeins of variegated.
