2. Waffle Stitch Blanket With Fringe
One of the first blankets I ever made was crocheted with the waffle stitch.

This beautiful throw is sure to be a winner, whether you intend it as a gift or to keep it for yourself!

This cute crocheted chick phone case would make an adorable Easter gift. The chick applique finish is just so sweet!
