Baby blankets were some of the first things I ever crocheted. I made at least half a dozen of them for my oldest son while I was waiting for him to be born.

He was born such a long time ago and now has a family of his own. I still remember each of those afghans and I've never tired of making them.

Many of you probably learned with baby blankets too. I've read that people start getting more interested in crochet when there are babies to crochet for.

I know that many of you are looking for baby blanket patterns without any large holes for little fingers and toes to poke through. As it turns out, this stitch pattern is absolutely perfect for that.

I decided to do things a little differently because a constant back and forth can get tedious. These short row triangles worked out beautifully.
