Baby Blanket

Crocheted Baby Blanket

I finished crocheting the baby blanket, last night.   It was a good stash buster project!


Just enough mint green for one motif!

Three of these lilac motifs
Three with blue baby yarn

Two of these pink and blue ones



The blanket is 37-inches square.  A good size for a baby blanket, I think.

I washed and dried it, last night.  One or two woven ends worked themselves loose, so I need to tidy it up a bit.  Then, I will wrap it up and make a card to go with it.  I am pleased with how it turned out.  Hope the baby's mother and grandmother will like it, too.  What do you think?

    1. Thank you, Live and Learn. Yes, the additional yellow yarn really helped, didn't it? There's a little bit of the yellow leftover; I'm debating whether to put another row of yellow around the blanket to make the border just a bit wider. :)
