Crochet Baby on the O'Go Blanket

I would like to share my Baby on the O'Go Blanket with you. I was really inspired with the new line of yarn by Red Heart to create a quick and easy crochet project.

This fun blanket has an easy to remember 5 round repeat. You could easily continue on to make a lovely full-sized afghan for home decor.
