Crochet Be Mine Square Blanket

Crochet Be Mine Square Blanket

The Be Mine Square Blanket is the second in this series of crochet baby blankets.

I truly love crocheting from the middle style blankets.  I think they are the easiest, because you can just continue on to make the size you most prefer.  You can keep crocheting all the way to king size on this one.

As this is a sister pattern to the Be Mine Chevron Blanket and the Be Mine Baby Blanket (coming soon), I left the bobble off of this design.  If you like the bobbles of the other two patterns, feel free to add them in for even more texture.

When you upload your project to The Crochet Crowd Stitch Social Group or Instagram, feel free to tag me so I can see what you have crocheted.  Follow me on Instagram @ jeannestein or on Facebook.  My designs can also be saved in your Ravelry favorites by following me HERE.
