Tona Babydeken (Haken)

The stitch texture came out even better than the photos suggested, and the way it drapes makes it feel much airier than my usual blankets. Little fingers can actually grip the bumps without snagging, which is exactly what I wanted for tummy time.

The squish factor is unreal—this pattern makes a blanket that feels almost cloud-like, and the open stitch design keeps it airy enough for baby to grab without overheating. I crocheted it in two evenings and the texture held up beautifully after a wash.

The stitch texture turned out exactly as described—light but with that lovely squishy feel that babies love to grab. I've already started a second one for a friend's newborn because this pattern is that good.
