The hardest part about making this crochet pink gingham blanket is shopping for the yarn. I’m serious! You’ll need to find two colors that are in the same family but separated by a few shades. And sometimes when you hold the skeins together, you still won’t believe the colors will work. I experimented with Caron Simply Soft in light pink and strawberry and I feel like I have a good representation of pink gingham! So if you’re not sure about which yarn to choose, start with Caron in these three exact shades. Step 3: Chain until your blanket is the width you want. For a baby blanket, you’ll probably want to chain somewhere between 100 and 150 stitches. For a small throw blanket, chain somewhere between 150 and 200.
