Blankets are one of the most cosy things we have in our houses. They are particularly useful and just great when it comes to babies. Especially newborns, right?
They are classic, look fun and sophisticated at the same time, and are quite easy to make.

Self-striping yarn in this design is a risky choice, but crocheter behind The Yarn Ark made it look truly beautiful! Even though the stripes of the yarn doesn’t match the modules of the blanket, the overall effect is nicely balanced and eye-pleasing. As you can see, it’s an easy way to make a baby blanket without having to weave in the ends.
