Well, time is short, and you need a crochet baby blanket, give this one a try. The Bernat Blanket Stripes yarn makes this project even easier as you don't have to stop and change colours, yet it produces a fabulous blanket. Of course, if you prefer to choose your own colors, there are many shades of regular Bernat Blanket yarn that will work well.
I used just 2 balls and 3 hours one evening to crochet this quick and easy blanket. Its finished size is 29" x 34", just enough to cover a baby or be a comfy mat for a baby to lay on. It's plush and soft, perfect for a baby's soft skin.

I have tried the pattern about a fifty times I just don't know what I'm doing wrong it look so easy on the video I really want to try this pattern !!!!
Marguerite Hill says
Rnd 3 is wrong in between the corners. It is missing the ch1 before the next corner on both ends. The video is right but not reflected in the written pattern. I knew it had to be wrong, so I watched the video and shows that missing ch.
