Beginner Crochet
This blanket is easy to crochet, using just two stitches. Many students will be able to make this blanket after just one or two classes with Kate! Make a quick pram-sized blanket as a baby gift using the easy care machine-washable Peppin 14ply, or make a luxurious warm throw for that special someone. This blanket can also be used as a blank canvas for your own design elements: crochet flowers, leaves, letters or other motifs and sew them to the blanket as your imagination dictates!

Included in the pattern are notes, photos and tips to help the beginner crafter.
