Be Maine Square Crochet Blanket
The Be Mine Square Blanket is the second in this series of crochet baby blankets.
I really love crocheting from medium pattern blankets. I think it’s the easiest, because you can keep making the size you like the most. You can continue to knit all the way to a king size in that size.
Since this is a sister pattern to the Be Mine Chevron Blanket and the Be Mine Baby Blanket (soon), I left the bobble from this design. If you like the figurines of the other two models, feel free to add them for more texture.
When you upload your project to The Crochet Crowd Stitch Social Group or Instagram, feel free to tag me so I can see what you crochet. Follow me on Instagram @jeannestein or on Facebook. My designs can also be saved to your Ravelry favourites by following me here.
