This Single Rib Crochet Stitch was very easy to do, especially with the helpful tutorial on Dream a Little Bigger. One thing I love about this stitch is the way the ribs created depth-- the blanket is plush and squishy.
I used a size "I" crochet hook and two strands of thin yarn at the same time-- one green and one blue. The yarn was purchased at a local craft store, but I'm not exactly sure how to translate the packaging. (I can tell you, though, that it's the same yarn I used in the Striped Granny Square Baby Blanket with Picot Edging, and I posted a picture of the yarn packaging for that project.)
Finally, the border was simply two rows of single-crochet stitch with the same "I" crochet hook and Red Heart Super Saver with Love yarn in Bluebell. The finished project measures 18 by 22 inches-- the perfect size for a baby/toddler to snuggle and carry around the house. And to top it off, I crocheted a matching hat.
Hope you're feeling inspired...
Happy hooking,
Jilliane
