Cali Baby Blanket Pattern

This Cali baby blanket pattern is inspired by my hometown. I was blessed to be born and raised in sunny San Diego, CA. The colors remind me of a sunset at the beach. The stitch used is Lemon Peel, a nod to the citrus field in California.

Why base a design on a State? It all started when I was shopping for paint. I came across a paint line based on all 50 States and was inspired to do something similar in crochet. I also designed a blanket for Kansas… Find the Pattern Here!
