The collection we have put together in this book are 25 of our most popular baby blanket patterns from the Daisy Farm Crafts website. Our patterns have been shared on Pinterest millions of times and many hands have now made Daisy Farm Crafts baby blankets to celebrate and welcome their new ones into the world. I'm happy the patterns will now be in book form and we hope you have as much fun making them as we did! We use US crochet terms and easy to read explanations of the patterns.
