If you want the final blanket to look polished, focus on consistency: keep your squares the same size, and try to maintain even tension as you go. When joining, take your time lining up corners so the seams don’t pull.

For the ruffle border, the key is to follow the tutorial’s pacing and watch how the stitch placement creates that gentle wave. If your ruffle feels too flat or too wavy, small changes in tension can make a big difference—slow down and check your edge every few repeats.

Happy crocheting—and I hope this blanket turns into your new go-to baby gift project!
