Going to a baby shower tomorrow for a friend that’s due three weeks before me. They are having a girl. I made her a couple hats with fabric flowers (kanzashi flowers), and a blanket.
My blanket pattern is below if interested.
The blanket pattern:
Chain 111, turn
First row: DC two in first chain. *DC 9. Skip one chain. DC 1. Skip one chain. DC 9. In next chain, DC increase (3 DC).* Repeat from * three times (or longer if you’d like your width to be longer). Your last sequence is a bit different since it ends the row: DC 9. Skip one chain. DC 1. Skip one chain. DC 9. In last chain, DC 2. Turn.
Rows 2 – XX: repeat first row until you reach desired length. I did 78 rows.
Every six rows, I changed colors.
My final blanket ended up being about 30″ x 40″ (or so).
OK, now I need to start making things for my baby! Although I do have a list of other new babies that I’ve been meaning to make things for…urg.
well, that's neat
