I love making crochet blankets and blankets that looks perfect in pink for little girls makes it a little more my favorite and the Carousel Blanket is a must make! This blanket is full of texture but don't worry if you know basic crochet stitches and can work front post and back post crochet stitches, then you will be able to whip up this blanket in no time at all. You don't have to make this blanket in pink, this beautiful texture would look beautiful in any color.
