This gorgeous free Waves of Grain square crochet baby blanket pattern from Made by Gootie is worked completely from the center outward. You don’t like starting projects with long foundation chains? This center-out granny design makes stitching relaxed and intuitive.
The intermediate pattern uses a rhythmic repeat to build a lovely, wheat-like raised texture across the entire surface. While the standard pattern finishes as a 35×35 inch square blanket, you can easily use any yarn weight with a matching hook. Just keep repeating the rounds until you reach your ideal dimensions. Grab your favorite soft yarn to hook up this richly textured DIY baby blanket for a thoughtful gift or nursery centerpiece.
