If you’d like to sign up for some blanket CALs but don’t want to make big pieces, consider starting with this baby crochet blanket. It’s not as big as some of the others but still requires concentration and careful work. The project is really interesting to crochet and you will find that you overlook the time going by. Gauge is not critical for this piece and it will be suitable for beginner to intermediate crocheters.

Blanket crochet-along for those who want to try mosaic crochet. The Christmas motif gives this blanket a winter feel, and if you don’t have one of these, you can make one now. The CAL has already started and will last all year, so it’s going to be an interesting journey. The most important thing is not to be afraid to share your progress and contact with other crocheters.
