Simple Baptism Blanket
This afghan can be made with one skein of Lion Brand Pound of Love. White, of course, would be appropriate for a baptism. I used a crochet hook size US I9/5.50 mm. Gauge is not important for this project. My finished size is 33 by 41". Each white block is a closed filet, which is 3 double crochet stitches. Each black block is an open filet, which is 2 chains and one double crochet. To make the blanket, chain 101 and then start the chart. he end of row 72, complete the last double crochet, and then chain 1 and turn For the border, single crochet around the entire blanket, making sure to make 3 single crochet stitches into each corner, and using a slip stitch to close the round. Chain 1 and, without turning the afghan, do a row of reverse single crochets. Weave in the ends.
