Crochet Goodnight Kisses Rectangle Blanket

Crochet Goodnight Kisses Rectangle Blanket

The Crochet Goodnight Kisses Rectangle Blanket is the sister project to the Goodnight Kisses Baby Blanket, which is the square version. I know the community members like to have options.

I decided to play with 3 colors using my favorite, Red Heart With Love yarn.  The sizing on this blanket is baby, coming in at 34" x 39", but if you follow Mikey's guide found here, Rectangle Granny Afghans: All Sizes Pattern, and alter your starting chain length based on his chart of suggestions. For instance, if I were going to make a throw-sided afghan, I'd start with 31.  Just make sure you start with an odd number of chains.

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.
