Jj's Blanket

"I have made baby blankets for all of my nieces and nephews. Sometimes they love them, sometimes they sit on rocking chairs like heirlooms. One of my nephew’s baby blanket I crochet for him has so many holes in it from years of naptime snuggles. So precious! This past winter my newest little nephew, Jett, was born, and of course I HAD to crochet him up a blanket, too! I decided to make a similar blanket to the one I made for his older sister a few year back. Unfortunately I never did write down the pattern for the blanket I made for little Jayda. Good thing my sister-in-law loves me and supports my crochet business because she sent dimension, stitch counts, and pictures of Jayda’s blanket so I could replicate it for baby Jett too. I decided to name this crochet pattern “JJ’s Blankie” after the Jayda & Jett. Get it?"
