Crochet Textured Baby Blanket In Pastel

" really enjoyed crocheting this textured baby blanket in pastel. This crochet pattern is a repeat of one row using single crochet and double crochet stitches. These pastel yarn colors just pop with this pattern. I used single crochet and two double crochet to create the puffy look. So easy to work this pattern. So I was crocheting this beautiful baby blanket and thought it would look pretty with our without a crochet edging. The thinking was that the pastel colors were so complimentary that I did not want to take away from the color scheme with a border. I will let you be the judge. I have some photos of the blanket without the crochet edge followed by a few photos of the blanket with a crochet edge in white."
