This is a lovely baby blanket and using the yarn mentioned will make it so soft. Who does not want a blanket like that? You can even make a larger one for yourself. I really like the pattern and will use it in my next baby blanket. Thank you.

This Cotton Candy Crochet Baby Blanket looks very appropriate to use during the very cold winter months. The yarn used is the thick and chunky type in pink and light blue. Baby will be safe and warm under these cotton soft sheet. Lovely shower gift.

I wanted to know if this pattern could be doubled. I am not that great at crocheting, so would I just double the directions?
