2. Lazy Waves Blanket

Who said that waves must always resemble a simple zig-zag? By making basic stitches taller and shorter, you can achieve this cool wavy pattern. It’s very original in our opinion. We love this mix of dark green, yellow, and pink because it’s a stunning palette.

6. Mandala Waves Baby Blanket

Throw blankets may use basic crochet stitches and still look amazing – it all depends on the type of yarn you choose and the stitch pattern. This lovely blanket by Kim uses rainbow colors and simple stitches, such as double crochet. It’s a great choice for adventurous beginner crocheters who don’t mind a small challenge.

Crocheter behind the name NLMcKain used one of the loveliest free crochet blanket patterns and made it her own. Gentle ripples in gradient colors will look better than granny squares! You can modify the blanket size by changing the number of pattern repeats.
