Cream Blocks Baby Blanket- Free Pattern

The cream blocks baby blanket is made up of four blocks in shades of cream or brown, hahaha. I choose these four colours as they combine very well.

I also believe that it is a gender neutral combination making it great for when you don’t know the gender of the baby but would still like to gift the family.

I love making baby blankets, I think they are super easy, and make the perfect gift thoughtful gift for a new mom.

The texture created by the silt stitch is very unique! Made by single and double crochet stitches this stitch is also called the silt stitch.
