A New Pattern: Easy Airy Summer Baby Blanket

My cousin recently had her second child. A sweet little baby boy. Well I got busy and put together a baby blanket for him. I wanted it to be light, airy and soft. So here is the pattern that I came up with. It can also be changed in so many ways, so you can make it to fit your needs. Hope you enjoy.
