Greyson Baby Blanket
I’ve always loved the name Greyson – it was almost the name of our middle child! It turns out it didn’t quite fit him, but it does fit this gorgeous neutral baby blanket – a free crochet baby blanket pattern here on Moogly!

Easy to Memorize 4 Row Repeat
The Greyson Baby Blanket is a ripple afghan – with a twist! Every repeat you build up to the ripple row, and then even back out, creating a wave pattern within straight lines – an up to date take on a classic. Each row is unique, and the 4-row repeat is easier to memorize than you might think. It works up fast, and while it does have a lot of ends, you can weave them in in less than an evening, even if you leave them all til the end!
