The Crochet Cloverlight Baby Blanket is an intermediate-advanced pattern that uses treble crochet to create a gorgeous Celtic weave texture.

Design Inspiration

I am in love with the look and texture of this Celtic weave baby blanket. I’ve been wanting to try this stitch for a while and I’m ecstatic about how it turned out. Although I created this as a baby blanket it would make a great home decor throw as well. The color choices, name, and design were all inspired by March and the shamrock season.
