Happy weekend everyone!
Today’s post/video is a continuation of the “Easy Crochet Blankets” series that I started a few weeks ago.
There is something about finishing a blanket that is absolutely satisfying. I love making baby blankets, whether they’re knitting or crochet, big or small.
In today’s post, I will show you step by step how to crochet this gorgeous baby blanket. I’ve added some pompoms that I think look amazing and so fun!
But please note, pompoms and tassels are absolutely optional, you don’t have to.
I added them because I’ve used super bulky yarn and I feel like the “waves” are not very drippy if that makes sense.

Like I always say, the absolute best part of making or creating a blanket it’s finding the perfect colour combination. I love matching colours and trying to mix them together.
This blanket looks amazing as a “baby blanket” but the possibilities are endless. You can adjust the pattern to make it bigger or smaller. You can even make a large scarf or a gorgeous rug using t-shirt yarn!
This project it’s perfect for beginners, you don’t need to know a lot about crochet to make this blanket. Only the basics, that’s it!
And because it is so simple, you can finish it in one weekend, making it the perfect beginner-friendly project

Make the poms or tassels!
