This is a beautiful blanket based on the La Petite Grise pattern by Patty Crochète. Five-petal flowers and a butterfly were incorporated to give it an even fresher look. It is so delicate that it will be perfect as a baby blanket!
What Skill Level Is Required For This Pattern?
To create this beautiful crochet blanket with springy accents, you need to know the most basic stitches. An experience in doing lacework will come in handy here, too. The pattern features a mix of double crochets, single crochets, and chain spaces to form a breathable fabric with unique open-stitch motifs.
Yarn and Hook Recommendations
Even though the original pattern instructions don’t specify the required materials, you can get inspired by polinkovam’s project. It features DK yarn (Cleckheaton Australian Superfine Merino 8 ply) and a 4.5 mm crochet hook.

Tips for Blocking and Finishing
Blocking your finished crochet blanket is always key. For this purpose, you can use a hand steamer or simply submerge the item in water. Depending on the technique you prefer most, the main point of blocking is to make your project wet. This will help even out the stitches and let the fabric get its final look.
After blocking, remember to dry your blanket by laying it flat. Don’t hang it on a laundry rope or rack dryer, as this can stretch the fibers too much.
