I am so excited for a dear friend who is expecting their first baby. 

That I just knew I had to crochet her and her baby a unique crochet blanket.

After a few heartbreaking years and lots of trying she is finally going to be a mum. 

So I was asked to create a special cozy crochet blanket for the new arrival. 

She had asked me for a large baby blanket that could also be used as a crochet baby shawl. 

This is crochet blanket is actually a pretty BIG baby blanket. 

However, it is an easy repetitive stitch and actually works up in no time.

After trying out several multiple stitches worked together, getting so far and then not liking the texture or look of the blanket.

Finally, I settled on the effect created by working sc/2dc in the same stitch it looked perfect in the white yarn and I loved how quickly a nice soft blanket started to develop. The texture reminds me of fluffy little white clouds. 

This crochet stitch combination is really soft and warm. 

This is a great pattern for working on whilst watching your favorite TV show as the repetition is so easy.
