Cozy Single Crochet Spike Stitch Baby Blanket

Learn how to crochet the alternative alternating single crochet spike stitch! Paired with super bulky yarn, you'll make a deliciously cozy baby blanket for the colder months. 

I just love the woven look of this stitch! I was looking for a stitch that would play nicely with middle-of-the-row color changes, and I am pleased with the result.

The border is worked in the same stitch for a neat finish.
