If you’re looking for a beginner friendly crochet project then the Ombre Baby Blanket is ideal for you! It combines simply granny stitch combinations for a beautiful, delicate, lacy look with a flowing drape to the crochet fabric. Using a combination of ombre colours, the design is simple yet really stunning. This is the perfect blanket for a gift for a new baby or a christening. So many colour options available, too. I think that as well as the peach colours featured, it’d look stunning in ombre berry colours and ombre sage greens.

Finished blanket size if you follow this pattern exactly is approx. 32” x 40” (80cm x 102cm). Instructions for how to increase or decrease the size of the blanket is given.

This pattern requires:
4x 100g/322yrds of Double Knitting (DK)/ light worsted weight #3 yarn in ombre colours (going from darker to lighter shades). For the peach ombre I used Stylecraft Special DK in Vintage Peach, Apricot, Toy, and Cream.
5mm/H crochet hook;
Darning needle;
Scissors.
