Zig
Zag Crochet Baby Blanket (FREE Pattern)
(a
rewrite of the Hopscotch Crochet Baby Blanket by Little Things Blogged)
Have
you ever wanted to learn filet crochet but find the way the patterns
are written to be confusing? Now is your chance to try!
I
found the most adorable baby blanket pattern on Pinterest one night
and ran out immediately to buy yarn. The Hopscotch Crochet BabyBlanket pattern by Little Things Blogged was exactly what I wanted to
make for June 2017 baby. Light and airy but also visually appealing.
I found the pattern hard to read so I rewrote it with counts instead
of the traditional filet crochet language. Feel free to make this
gorgeous blanket in any color scheme, I'd love to see your creations!
