Crochet Magic Baby Blanket Pattern + Tutorial

Magic Baby Blanket

I crocheted this baby blanket in one day.  It's a great crochet project for a last-minute gift idea too.  I was inspired by a crochet afghan I found on Ravelry called Sea Glass Afghan, but changed it to baby size with the bulky weight self-striping yarn.

Any bulky yarn would be work.  You can alternate colours to match any decor.
