Modern Patchwork Crochet Throw

Comments

Modern Baby yarn is used to work up this bright and colorful Modern Patchwork Crochet Throw. Because of the primary colors that are used, it's a fantastic gender-neutral baby blanket. It is made up of five columns of patches, and each patch is worked back and forth in rows. As you work, you'll join the patches together. Work up this multi-colored crochet baby blanket for an upcoming baby shower, or treat yourself to this homemade baby blanket. It's a classic crocheted afghan that will look amazing in any nursery, regardless of the color scheme.
