Free Crochet Pattern: Soundwaves Baby Blanket

Published by

Hello, lovely crafter! Today I’m releasing another simple yet unique baby blanket pattern for you. This is a cozy and minimalist blanket worked side-to-side, with the perfect afterthought border that just adds that little something. Of course, I’m releasing it as a free version in an effort to continually make sure all of my patterns are accessible to everyone, but there is also a paid PDF in case you’d like to support my work and have a convenient printable ad-free version.

Enjoy this breezy and cozy make!

PDF Format

The PDF version of this pattern is available on Etsy, Ravelry, and in my online shop, and US Terms in the download. – Easy UK conversion as only US sc and chains are used. US Terms are provided and instructions on how to use UK Terms are provided as well.

This pattern only uses (US) sc and chains. 1 UK dc = 1 US sc, so simply sub in dc for sc in your mind to make it if you are used to UK Terms.
