Description of my Preemie Baby Blanket Crochet Pattern:
The Bobble Preemie Blanket pattern is simple to make. You can make it with your choice of light weight yarn, just look for the number (3) on the yarn label.
It is a beginner friendly pattern and with easy to follow instructions. It uses the bobble stitch as a feature in the blanket. The rest of the blanket is mainly half double crochet with a row of single crochet here and there. I have clear written instructions for the bobble stitch as well as a link to my video on youtube to help you learn the bobble stitch if needed. You are also more than welcome to contact me with any questions you have about the instructions.
I have lots of great video tutorials on my Carroway Crochet YouTube Channel.
