The Alessio is a striking but easy crochet baby blanket pattern. The textured rows are placed evenly throughout an easy double crochet blanket. 

To really customize this baby blanket a few stripes in the stitch pattern are highlighted in your chosen color. With baby boys in mind I chose a beautiful sea blue for this blanket. 

The border on this crochet blanket pattern is my favorite part. The reversal of the colors brings this blanket together in a lovely way.
