ABOUT

The Walker Ridge Baby Blanket features the classic granny stitch with a ridged border detail to lend a pop of texture. This timeless design is perfect for gifting and is sure to become a beloved heirloom piece for the little ones in your life.

My second son, Weston Walker, was born in June of 2025. This was the blanket I slowly worked on during his pregnancy, and this will be his special piece that he can hopefully pass down to his own littles one day!

The full Lion Brand crochet kit can be found here!
