I love bright colors of yarn. I saw the Red Heart O’Go Yarn and wanted to try it out so, I made this Rainbow Double Dot Crochet Baby Blanket Pattern.
This rainbow crochet baby blanket pattern uses the half double crochet, single crochet, and the double crochet together to make this raised dot pattern.
I chose Red Heart Super Saver O’Go Yarn. The yarn is easy to work with and to get. I like the variety of colors available. This medium weigh yarn is gauge 4. It will make a great blanket to wrap up a new baby up in.
