Crunch stitch soft baby blanket

I have done a video tutorial about this stitch last year. In that month I decided to explore different stitches and make a month of stitch tutorials, one of these was the crunch stitch.

The beauty of this stitch or a similar one is that you have the texture in the project, in my case a blanket and the ease of it, this stitch is so easy to achieve that it is unbelievable and it is very pretty as well.

So this blanket is a small baby blanket but you can make it bigger if you wish, you just need to make more chains in the beginning, I have used a random acrylic yarn and the highest recommended hook number on the label. 

Blanket measures 50 cm wide and 78 cm long
