Today I am sharing my Sugar & Spice Baby blanket.  In addition it contains a easy to use color coded chart.  Sugar & Spice Bay Blanket is an easy level as it has 2 crochet stitch patterns.  First stitch is the Linen Stitch/Moss stitch.  Also the second stitch is the Bobble stitch.  I created this blanket for my new grand baby Riley Layne who’s nursery theme is Mermaids under the sea.  I think these colors tie in so well with that theme.  However, you can create your own color combo and still use this pattern.  I can see the Sugar & Spice Baby Blanket in pink, gray and white.  If you wish to create one for a boy you could do blue, gray and white.  In addition the color combos are endless!

The pattern is laid out in written form.  In addition has a color coded chart too!  Hopefully this will help with creating this cute blanket.   As far as warmth of the blanket I think it is just about right as the yarn used is light weight 3.  In addition the stitch patterns are close together to ensure warmth.  So with that continue on to pattern below.  Let me know what your thoughts are and please share your pics of your creations.
