Simple Waves Baby Blanket

There is a first time for everything, and I finally got around to making my first baby blanket- Simple Waves. Being my first blanket design, it had to be something that didn’t take up too much time, relatively easy and aesthetically pleasing. A PDF of this pattern can be found here or here

The initial design didn’t turn out this way (all wavy), as it was just triangles of white on peach, so I unraveled two days of crocheting and started all over. Talk about frustrating, but I was so eager to see this blanket through to the end.

This design mimics the chevron stitch, but is actually basic tapestry crochet. It is so easy to master and customize and I have added all the notes for that.

I hope you have a great time making the Simple Waves baby blanket.
