Sometimes it can be hard to find baby patterns that are made for boys. Of course, all crochet patterns are for everyone, but if you want a classic look that will be perfect for a little boy’s room, this baby blanket crochet pattern is a great choice.
It mostly uses front loop double crochet for a look that’s a little different from regular double crochet but that’s still pretty easy to accomplish. The picot edging is worked in a contrasting color for added interest.
