It's always good to have a memory file of quick and easy crochet stitches that make for beautiful (not to mention quick) projects that can be completed in a weekend or so.
This was the case with The Janelle Blanket that my daughter asked me to make for a school administrator's new baby.
What's a Mom to do? (hint - you can't say no...)
You take the gifting needs as an opportunity to teach your child an easy stitch that makes for an easy, but memorable and thoughtful gift!

Finishing. You can add any simple border of your choice. I used single crochet, placing 3 single crochet stitches in each corner to keep the "corners" sharp.
