Zig Zig Baby Blankets

These are two of the last baby blankets I made earlier this year for friends having babies.

I have included a pattern for those who need them.

What I did was use regular yarn and do 1 line of set up and then crochet across the next line and then stitch 2, skip 1, stitch 10, add three stitches in the next stitch, stitch 10, drop 2 stitches, and start a loop over and over from the first stitch 10. to end off simply skip 1 and stitch 2. Repeat line after line. then I did two lines of stitch over all four sides and added fringe.
