Not all new moms want baby blankets to be pastels. Neutral colours that blend into the background are also trending, making the baby the centre of attention.
The bottom line is that the baby blanket needs to keep the baby warm. This is the Trendy Modern Baby Blanket.
As much as the baby afghan is designed for the baby, the colours are really up to the mom's style.
If you want to change the size of this blanket to make it bigger, the stitch multiple is 2 chs. Changing the size of the blanket will change the yarn quantities but its up to you on figuring how much yarn you will need.

If I were using 1 color how would I turn?
Marina King says
you would chan up for whatever the stitch is that comes next, ie, if its a double you would chain 3 (personally I do 2 because I am a tight crocheter)
Debra says
I love the look of this blanket Mikey! you are awesome! I am using 3 colors and don't really want to FO and rejoin each row. If I do 2 rows of each color would I be able to do that? And How exactly?

Mikey, The Crochet Crowd says
The pattern is posted. It has a GET PATTERN button on the top of the article. You are welcome to make a baby sweater with this yarn if you wish. I'm not aware of any sweaters being made with this material. You might have to google or search Ravelry to see if others have done it.

Hello Mikey!! I LOVE your tutorials, projects and well, all you do! I have a question.. when you change colors on this Trendy Crochet Baby Blanket do you tie off the ends and cut off access or tie it off then weave in the color?? Thanks and keep on giggling! 😉 Your crocheting friend, Daphne.
