This is the ad-free pdf version of the free pattern found on my website.

This beautiful baby blanket is a simple one-row repeat that creates a Maltese cross-like center. The cross blooms out of the center of the blanket as you work each row.

Carrying the non-working yarn throughout helps decrease the number of ends to weave in at the end to just a few!

Wonderfully textured using the popcorn stitch to raise the cross from the blanket and give the blanket even more visual interest!

The picot crown border is the perfect finish to this heirloom quality blanket.
