The Baby Bliss Blanket Crochet Pattern uses 1 skein of Lion Brand Mandala Yarn! YAY! I love 1 skein patterns….

Baby Bliss Blanket is worked from the center out in a square. Mandala’s self striping yarn is perfect for this pattern. Get beautiful color variations without changing colors. Attach tassels to the corners for extra cuteness.

Mandala’s light weight yarn gives the blanket a soft, light feel. This pattern can most certainly be made in any other yarn weight. However, it will alter the size and gauge. If you do use a different weight yarn, you MUST share a photo with me! Tag me on Instagram using @crochetitcreations or on Facebook.
