I am Lindsay Mayo, also known as The Crafty Flamingo.
Summer is upon us! If you are like me, you will still want to make baby gifts for your friends and family who might be expecting. Blankets aren’t always the first thing that you want to work on during the summer, but this blanket is a perfect go-to project to make during the summer months!
Since it is so warm during the summer, blankets aren’t always the coolest thing to work on during the summer months. However, my criss-cross baby blanket pattern is made with lighter baby yarn so it’s not so heavy.
My favorite kind of baby blanket pattern is one that is easy to memorize. After the first 4 rows, it’s just a repeat of the pattern so you that makes it easy to work on during your favorite show or while watching a movie!

Crochet Pattern
