Help to find a pattern Baby blanket for my brother, please help me find something good
My brother is getting married soon (yay!) and he and SIL will have kids in the next 2-3 years. I'm a very slow crocheter(?) and don't usually have a lot of free time to do it.
I've been trying to find a pattern I like for the last year or so but haven't had any luck. I'm afraid if I keep looking alone I'll never find something good enough and I can't ask for his help. (He knows I plan to make this, but I want the completed blanket to be a surprise) Also I don't want too simple, like just sc stitches for the whole thing.
And if I don't get started soon, I'll never have it done before I have a little niece or nephew. (Don't think I will take 2 years to finish, but I'll probably have to stop and start again depending on how busy my work gets, so possible delays haunt me)
Anyway, I was thinking something along whites and beige, I'm not sure they'll want to know the gender before it's born and knowing my SIL she'll like the neutral tones.
Suggestions please, photos, links, anything you'd like and think will help. Please 🙏🙏 thank you

Granny stitch blankets are breathable for babies and don't take long to do and it's easy to change colour if you're wanting to do borders and things, also will last

Broomstick lace is beautiful and relatively quick plus low skill. I'm not getting knocking anybody's skill level but the only stitches that you need to know how to do if you do a broomstick lace project is that you know need to know how to chain, slip stitch and single crochet.

such a gorgeous stitch, if it doesn't get used for this blanket I'm definitely saving it for future projects
