This Bold As Red Baby Crochet Blanket is perfect for tummy time in style! Scroll down for the complete free pattern or get the ad-free, printable PDF pattern here.
This sweet super bulky baby blanket pattern is great in a lot of ways. Because of the chunky weight yarn, it will stitch up in a flash, and that cozy yarn is perfect for keeping baby warm or using on the floor during tummy time.
This is also a super simple pattern that even beginner crocheters can accomplish. It uses two colors of yarn – one for the body and one for the edging – but you can make the body striped or use a multicolored yarn if you’d rather.
