Baby Blanket Pattern

Any time I’m invited to a baby shower, the one thing that I make sure to include is a handmade baby blanket.  The fleece that you purchase from Joanne’s or Walmart is thicker & usually softer than the store bought blankets.  You can customize them or leave them plain and they are easier to make than you might think.  The variety of colors & patterns are nearly endless, so you can make it to go with any nursery decor. Here’s how I make them:
