Alima Blanket

This gorgeous and simple baby blanket can be the perfect choice if you love colors and easy, repetitive rows.

I used this stitch combination in my Waves of Nature Tote Bag and I thought you would love a blanket option too!

It can be made in any size: make a baby blanket or if you are more adventurous crochet a large afghan!
