This baby blanket pattern was created to celebrate the birth of my niece, Savannah. I wanted to make her a lovely, lightweight baby blanket which was large enough to hang over the top of her stroller or carrier to protect her from the sun and still allow air to move through. Summer babies need blankets too!
This blanket is easy to crochet. It uses beginner crochet stitches; just single crochet (sc), double crochet (dc) and chain stitches. Even the ruffled edging is simple to add to your blanket.

Hi Gemma, If you message me with the dimensions you would like to make I can calculate the stitches you need to start with and how many rows you need to complete – Hope this helps, Rhondda
Hi Jody 🙂 I’m happy you like it! I totally understand about the WIPs being done first – lol – my husband feels the same way! All the best, Rhondda
Hi Gemma, Yes the pattern is available free at Ravelry and Craftsy 🙂
Oh this looks just luscious – I’m gonna try it out ASAP! (I’ll have to finish some WIPs first or I do believe my husband might try to murder me for starting a new one!)

Thanks Jen 🙂 Shared your CAL with my page today too (on FB) – I love the pattern you picked for June! R
