I made this easy textured crochet blanket for a friend of mine. She is due to have her baby boy Kip any day. Once again I decided to use the lemon peel stitch my go to for texture. Plus the lemon peel stitch is simply easy; a SC followed by a DC. Lion Brand's Feels Like Butta Yarn was perfect for this blanket, it's known for its velvety softness. The colors used: white, pale gray, charcoal, and ice. Perfect colors for a baby boy. Here is the pattern, have fun and enjoy.
