Description:
The Hazel crochet baby blanket is worked entirely in the bean stitch, giving it one incredible texture. Because of the nature of the stitch and the weight of the yarn, this blanket is fairly heavy making it the perfect item for those colder days and nights. This baby blanket will make a beautiful addition to a baby’s room.
Notes:
Finished size measures 47” wide x 47″ long
To change the length, simple add more striped rows
To change the width, chain an odd number
ch 1 does count as stitch
At the end of each row, it says to ch 1. You are actually chaining 2, but because you already chained 1 to secure the last bean stitch, the pattern states to ch 1
