Tiffany Blanket, a Free Baby Blanket Crochet Pattern
I’m so excited to share this new pattern with you today! This is the Tiffany Blanket, a crochet baby blanket pattern. I’m so in love with all the color in this pattern! I designed this in six colors of Valley Yarns Valley Superwash dk! Find and favorite it on Ravelry by clicking here.
If you want to change up the colors, I suggest that you choose five colors that are all about the same “weight.” This means that they are all about the same on a scale of light to dark. If you were to take a black and white picture of those colors together, they would all look like the same grey. Then, for the sixth color, choose one that is a lighter or darker shade of one of the other five colors.
