Extra easy crochet blanket for beginners

With the holiday season coming up fast, the hunt for the perfect present begins! While every gift should be cherished, there's something extra special when someone goes out of their way to craft it. So how about this year, you try your hands at a handmade gift for your loved ones?
Here is a great, simple, and quite a beautiful blanket that we will knit together.

The grey blanket color you see in the photo won't show the pattern very well, so I chose blue yarn for this video. It'll give us an easier time following along.
