The Sand Preemie Blanket Crochet Pattern

The Sand Preemie Blanket Crochet Pattern

For this blanket, every time I looked at it, I saw sand in the colors. (Maybe it’s because I have always loved the beach.) Anyways, as soon as I saw the picture below, I knew this blanket was going to be The Sand Preemie Blanket. I love how this blanket has a sandy looking texture and neutral sand color for any baby!
