Baby Blue Blanket

I am on a roll with these blankets!! I have finished #2 of the 3 blankets I started! This one is geared more for boys as it is made with a royal blue, pastel blue, white and trimmed in gray. I did it in some thick, bold stripes with a stitch pattern that wasn't quite so "girly" in look. I added a single crochet trim to keep it simple and just add that little accent color. This one is actually a little bigger than I normally make my baby blankets, so it would actually be great for a toddler! Here it is in all it's glory



As you can see, it is a super snuggly blanket and has a great textured look. I am very pleased with the outcome of this blanket and hope I can find it a new home other than my bedroom!

I have it for sale here in my Etsy shop. 

If you'd like to make one yourself, the pattern can be found here.

Lacy Crochet Baby Blanket

A couple weeks ago I wrote a post about blankets and their ability to go unfinished once I start them (Here is the post). Well let me tell you, I finally won a battle over a blanket! This blanket came out just the way I envisioned it would. It is the perfect design for a new baby girl. Here is the finished product!


And here is a closeup of the design. The blanket's true color does not show here, but I think that has to do with my camera being so close to it. 


If you like this pattern, you can find it here. It's a great free pattern that's super easy to read and has different sizes available. 

If you would like to purchase this blanket, I have it for sell in my Etsy shop here
