Little Blue...

The sister has a lovely friend who is expecting a little boy. Since the sister does not knit or crochet she asked if I could hook a blanket for her friend.

Of course I would. I used this pattern, which is my go-to for baby blankets. The sister selected the colors and I ran them through the random stripe generator.

It is not often that I work with washable yarn, so when this blanket came out of the dryer all soft and squishy, I almost wanted to keep it for myself.

A nice quick project to add to my FOs. While I love to crochet, I enjoy the knitting process more. That means I must stay away from Chawne's blog, because everytime I visit I want to hook on something else.  

I will leave you will some loves and wish you all a great week!

• This time of year it is great to see the transition  into Spring colors.There are some serious beauties here.  
• Would love to have this shirt to stop people from asking if I am seeing anyone.
• My friend Marion knit up a lovely stripey hat, makes me have grabby hands.
• ButterflyBush Yarns has added some new sock yarn and stitchmarkers to the Etsy shop!

Hi Hippoplatypus,

I used an I hook for this blanket.
The edging is one round of half double crochets and then a picot edging.
Here is a Utube tutorial on how the picot edging is done;

hope that helps.
Happy hooking!

Hi there. What yarn did you use?

[Vicki]

I am working on my own ripple blanket now using this pattern and random stripe generator. It's for a coworker expecting a baby girl. It's so fun! I have boys and love when I get to use girly colors. :)

I was wondering if you wouldn't mind sharing how you did the border.

Thank you so much for sharing! :)
