Special Edition Island Time Baby Blanket Pattern

It may just be the squishiest, softest baby blanket in existence… If you need a quick make-this one’s for you! I made this baby blanket in 2 days flat (ok, ok, no mortal can crochet as fast as that, if it’s not their full time job…but I promise it is a quickie)!! Had I planned on writing a pattern for it? No, absolutely not. But then I thought…why not, right!? The more free content, the merrier!

Why did I choose this one?? Because a favourite of mine will always be the large sunburst granny square. It makes such an impact and truly is a delight to crochet. I keep coming back to it, over and over again, for good reason!!

For those of you who are hesitant to start a granny square project (for whatever the reason)—I wanted to create a blanket for you to ease into. It starts with an adorable motif, chunky (think: “quick!”), and less squares to make in the end. This blanket has a total of 16 centres all worked in a solid colour so you need not be afraid of all those colour changes. It’s fun, it’s bold, it’s soft & quick. What’s not to love?!
