All rounds are worked on the right side.
Place the blanket and yarn in a sealed bag while not being worked on.
Project time: Seven (7) to ten (10) hours, depending on skill level.

I wrote this pattern for new crocheters in our Thread of Love Group. This charity gives 20” square blankets to two different hospitals in our area that have preemie babies born 3-1/2 lbs or smaller.

To me, it’s the easiest pattern to teach a new crocheter who wants to be involved in giving the charity a baby blanket. You can get the entire pattern at the link, and hopefully learn a little bit about the charity as well.
