I am happy to say that I am going to be an aunt again this summer. My sister (soon to be mom) is decorating the new baby’s nursery in a woodland theme.
With that theme in mind, I was inspired to crochet a blanket for this little bundle to match in the perfect forest colors the Woodland Inspired Crochet Blanket!
Perfect Beginner Crochet Blanket Project!
This crochet blanket design is a perfect beginner project and easy to make since it only uses single crochets. The border is a wavy design made up of slip stitches, single and half double crochets to make it a little more delicate looking.
If you are new to crochet this would be a great project to try to build up your crochet skills. It is easy! I promise!
The Yarn that’s Great for This Woodland Blanket
I used 4 different colors of Loops & Threads Impeccable yarn from Michaels Craft Stores in Pumpkin, Chocolate Brown, True Grey, and Deep Forest.
I found this yarn easy to work with and the price is just perfect! If you can’t get this particular type of yarn I recommend Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice as a great substitute which can be found online and at most craft stores.

Hi! You can copy & paste into notepad or word to print.
