Modern Classic Baby Blanket

"This classic baby blanket pattern uses post stitches, shells, puff stitches and cross stitches to create a perfectly vintage-style texture that is elegant and interesting. In order to keep the design at the ends of the blanket the same, this project is crocheted in 2 pieces and then sewn together. This also makes it easy to customize! I kept the border simple so as not to detract from the beauty of the stitches, but if you have a different trim that you'd prefer to use, that's fine too. I have used Bernat Baby Sport yarn to crochet this blanket with since it is easy to work with and easy to care for (which is always important for baby blankets and accessories). It is soft and comes in large skeins which are prefect for crocheting larger projects with!"
