This blanket is just the right size for both a baby blanket and a lap afghan. Not too big that it drags on the floor, but large enough to take the chill off. Additionally, some folks like to feel the texture in a blanket and this is full of lots of nice squishy texture.

I really enjoyed crocheting this textured baby blanket in pastel. This crochet pattern is a repeat of one row using single crochet and double crochet stitches. These pastel yarn colors just pop with this pattern.

Baby Blanket With or Without Crochet Edge
So I was crocheting this beautiful baby blanket and thought it would look pretty with our without a crochet edging. The thinking was that the pastel colors were so complimentary that I did not want to take away from the color scheme with a border. I will let you be the judge. I have some photos of the blanket without the crochet edge followed by a few photos of the blanket with a crochet edge in white.

Caron Simply Soft in Soft Green, Soft Pink, Orchid, and White yarn used for this blanket.
