Pretty in Panels Stitch Sampler Crochet Baby Blanket

From the Designer: "Learn three new stitches and create an heirloom quality baby blanket that a new mom will cherish! The Pretty in Panels Stitch Sampler Crochet Baby Blanket features the bobblet stitch, honeycomb stitch, and bar stitch, each of which have a single crochet base. Since all of these stitches are based in single crochet, I decided to work a simple single crochet border around each panel and around the blanket."

Materials List

• Size 4 worsted weight yarn, approximately 1,700 yards. For this pattern I used Yarn Bee Breathe Deep in the following colors:
  
  Color A: 2 Skeins Soft Coral (about 430 yards)
  
  Color B: 2 Skeins Mauve (about 430 yards)
  
  Color C: 2 Skeins Clay (about 430 yards)

  NOTE: Unfortunately this yarn has been discontinued! Substitute for a light worsted that calls for a G/6 4.25mm crochet hook on the label. Yarnsub.com is a great resource! For example, Lion Brand Feels Like Butta is a good option.
