Gossamer Crochet Baby Blanket
This pattern is so simple and works up quickly with neat edges even without the border! It's light weight too, so perfect for a pram blanket and it's also lacy so would be fantastic made larger in white for a christening! Skill level: Beginner Sizes: Any size you wish to make! US terminology used Yarn: DK/Light Worsted/8ply baby yarn - I used Jarol Mother of Pearl in shade 3013 (cream) Hook: 6.5mm (K) Gauge: Not particularly important.

Blanket
Ch64 - you can chain any size you like as long as it is a multiple of 4 to make a baby blanket, lapghan or afghan. This made a 24inch blanket, without the border for me. Row 1: 2dc in 5th ch from the hook, ch2, 2dc in nxt ch, \* skip 2 ch, 2dc in next ch, ch2, 2dc in next ch, repeat from \* to last 3 chs, skip 2 ch, 1dc in last ch, turn. : 2: Ch4, [2dc, ch2, 2dc] in each ch2 space, ending 1dc in 3rd ch of ch3, tui Repeat row 2 until you reach the desired length.
Edging
Round 1: Work 1 round of sc all the way around your project. When you get to the corners, ch 2 to form the corner space. At the end of the round, join the end to the beginning with a sl st. Rounds 2-4: Repeat round 1 so you have 4 rows of sc. Round 5: Work alternate dc3tog in one st, sc in next st around (creates bobble edging). Work dc6tog in ch2 space of corners.
