Crochet Goodnight Kisses Baby Blanket Pattern

Crochet Goodnight Kisses Baby Blanket

Crochet Goodnight Kisses Baby Blanket Pattern is an easy 6 round repeat made colorful with Caron Baby Cakes yarn.

The newer bigger ball sizes of the yarn means only 2 balls are needed for this 37" square baby blanket. Also new this year is the solid color balls to coordinate with the self-striping yarn.

Don't miss the matching Goodnight Kisses Rectangle Blanket!

I also made a second blanket with 3 balls of Bernat Super Value yarn; 2 balls Baby Pink and 1 ball Natural.
