Learn how to crochet this beginner-friendly moss blanket with my free step-by-step pattern and assisting video tutorial. I started this blanket when we began thinking about starting a family and I was convinced that when we became parents it would be to a little boy, which initially inspired the colour of the blanket. However, you can choose any contrasting colour. The dense stitch and weight of it feels cosy and warm resting over your lap. The size I created is perfect for a lap blanket or a cot blanket.
