Keskiyön taivaan vauvanpeitto (virkkaus)

The velvety texture is exactly what the description promises, and the stitch pattern gives it a far more unique look than the usual grid-style baby blankets. It works up surprisingly fast for something this squishy, and I’ve already started a second one for a friend.

I was worried about a crochet blanket feeling rough, but this pattern's velvety soft finish is exactly what the description promised. The simple stitch repeat means I can crochet while watching TV without losing my place, and my cat has already claimed the finished piece as her nap spot.

The stitch pattern gives it such a distinctive look, and the repeat is so easy to follow that I finished the whole blanket in a weekend. My hands didn't cramp up once, and the squishy texture feels absolutely amazing.
