About Alfie’s Baby Blanket.

My nephew recently had twins a boy and a girl.

Of course I had to make them each a baby blanket to welcome them into the world.

Alfie’s Blanket is a  free crochet pattern for a light weight beginner friendly baby blanket and you will be surprised how easy it is. I used a light weight (3) Yarn  for the ones in these pictures.

There are colour block stripes in Alfie’s Blanket.

You can customize this blanket by adding more rows to make if bigger or using less rows to make it smaller.

Also you could use a chunkier yarn and the appropriate hook to make a heavier blanket.
