For me, green is just the perfect colour for a baby blanket. Green symbolizes life, renewal, growth and new beginnings, everything you would associate with a brand new baby. This blanket works up really, really quickly using a 6mm/J-10 crochet hook. Honestly, if you put your mind to it you could get it done in a day. So it’s absolutely perfect if you need a last-minute baby gift.
