This retro wave baby blanket uses simple stitches and nostalgic colors to create a cozy design. The flowing waves are relaxing to crochet and suitable for all skill levels. The rhythmic pattern makes this an enjoyable project from start to finish.

I chose a retro-inspired color palette that feels both nostalgic and fresh - peach, light pink, and mustard yellow, balanced with neutral dark brown and cream tones.
