Homemade for the Holidays #20: Crocheted Baby Blanket or Afghan

I love to crochet, so when I saw this pattern online for a crocheted afghan I had to give it a try!  I made a small blanket for my daughter to use with her dolls, but you can make a full-sized afghan if you wish.  I LOVE this pattern.  It is so pretty.  You can do it all in one color, or use multiple colors making a striped afghan.  For this baby blanket I used Simply Soft yarn, but any worsted weight yarn will work.  I hope you enjoy this project!  I should note that even though I found a pattern online, I had to change it a bit because I couldn’t get the original pattern to come out right.  I “fixed” it and believe it is accurate now.  Have fun!
