Use the Crunch Stitch to Make a Snuggly Soft Baby Blanket

In this pattern, I used Loops and Threads Kai for the main part of this blanket.  It is a beautiful category 3 acrylic yarn that comes in several different colorways that are so much fun for a baby blanket!  If you don't want to use Kai, no worries!  There are a number of other Category 3 yarns that would work for this pattern (I'm looking at you, Lion Brand Mandala!).  You could even use a worsted weight yarn, just keep in mind your blanket will end up a bit bigger.

See that snuggly, fluffy cloud border?  That's made with Bernat Pipsqueak yarn and it is THE. SOFTEST.  I liked played with the different textures in this blanket, but again, if you want to crochet a different border, by all means be my guest 😉
