The Building Blocks Baby Blanket is a gorgeous afghan that you can customize all around! Adjust the size by adding or removing blocks. Change the colors for older children or even adults. Change the hook and yarn size for a thicker or thinner blanket. Work as individual blocks like granny squares for a summer time sweat free project. Or even crochet it all as one Corner to Corner blanket. What’s not to love?

Well hello there!

This is my very first C2C (corner to corner) project I have ever done and I am so proud of how it turned out.
