MOD 15-inch CROCHET ANGEL BABY BLANKET PATTERNS ~11 Designs

For the past month, I’ve been working steadily on 15-inch Angel Baby Blankets, managing to get one done over a 2-day-span of time: they are small and make up quickly, but I do have a social life, too, that thankfully keeps me out-of-house most of the daylight hours 😉

I thumbed through 3 of my favorite dog-eared stitch pattern books, and came up with some real nice designs. Most stitch patterns are too wide for such a small project … and the stitch patterns that fit perfectly get boring done over, and over, and over again: so, I reworked a few of the larger pattern stitch deigns to fit the 15-inch requirement, and I think they turned out pretty nice 😊

Blankets #3, #9, #11 are totally my own designs; I haven’t seen anything like them online or in pattern books, and I didn’t have to repeatedly recalculate the stitch count formats – I just worked them up ‘on the fly’ as I watched old black-n-white noir movies on Youtube, and sorted through my yarn stash.

These patterns can be used for full sized baby blankets too: just rework the stitch count.
