For some reason I have never made a baby blanket.
None for my own children, none for gifts... nada!
I don't know why... I must have made most things in
my crochet career.

So when I saw this one on Pinterest I
just couldn't resist... and along came a new
nephew for my future Son-In-Law...so off I went....
It is easy... a huge block of trebles into the back
loop only (called double crochet on the blog because
the writer used American terminology), then a
sweet little border.

I used Debbie Bliss Eco Baby Cotton
in pale cream (shade 14016). It's a gorgeous
softcotton and splits are rare.

The original pattern specified 4 ply cotton
yarn and a 6mm crochet hook, but I used a
3.50mm hook. Because of that slight change
I had to make minor adjustments to the border
to get it balanced.

By the way, the Beautiful Blogger Blanket 2012 arrived safely at
Barbina's (Little Things Made With Love)... and she loves it!
