Tender Days Blanket

The Tender Days Blanket is a soft, easy going crochet baby blanket built for cuddling. A center panel of alternating double and single crochet grows quickly, then a two color moss stitch border ties the whole piece together with just enough texture to make it feel special.

It comes written in ten sizes, from a small baby blanket up through a king size throw, so the same simple stitches and the same crochet blanket edging work for a nursery gift or a full bed topper. The construction stays approachable the whole way through, no matter which size you pick.
