what sex of baby would it be best for? or is it unisex?

 

i am second guessing myself and i would love any thoughts on this.

 

thanks.

Totally a unisex color!

[dobermama]

Definitely unisex!

Many baby crib sets are not gender specific. My neice had a jungle theme and I used brown and greens and she had a girl. Your blanket could be for any sex of baby. It would depend on what theme or colors that the mother chooses for the baby's room.

Either a boy or a girl.

Unisex. I try and avoid cliche colors myself, and if I wasn't sure how the mom would respond, I would totally go for a color like that.

I agree with everyone else that it is a unisex color but it would depend on the afghan pattern. If it's lacy or fancy it could be for a girl. If it's more of a simple stitch then it could be for a boy.

flowery for girl, geometric or plain for boy.

I wouldn't use that colour for a boy myself. it just seems to have been claimed by little girls as the colour of choice and I think it is identified as such.

 

I did use a lavender colour on a boy blankie recently but it was only a small trim colour with a largely blue and yellow theme.

Unisex. The color is good for both sexes in my opinion.

I agree with the others - it depends on the pattern used to actually determine the "sex of the blanket".

i used the "baby bubbles" pattern.

my cousin is having a baby and the sex is a suprise. i didn't want to make a yellow/green blanket. i'm just going to give it to her and hope the color choice is OK with her. they aren't snobby people.

 

thanks for the opinions everyone.

We use that Pound of Love turquoise a lot for Project Linus blankets and Mom and I both consider it a unisex color. And it's a gorgeous color, too! Patty

I don't see colours as gender specific, personally. Sure, pink is supposed to be for girls, but I don't like pink and I don't make things with it! "Gender colours" sounds very stereotypical to me (I don't mean to offend anyone, this is just my opinion!).

That said, turquoise is a lovely colour for any baby - it's a nice vibrant colour, it's very versatile and mixes well with other colours.

A great choice!

I love turquoise and would consider it unisex DEPENDING upon the pattern. It could go frilly or masculinely plain.

I would use it for either one. I like the brighter colors for babies anyway. My littlest grandson has a red blanket and the older one has a dark blue.

I wouldn't either. I think it's more for girls too.

Unisex, most definately. Love the color.

I don't think of any color as boy or girl. I like to use medium shades of rainbow colors with off white. I've even used bright colors with black. You can make it "girlie" with flowers/lacey or a "boyish" plain pattern.

ok.. now I get it. When I went to the LB site there was a lavender yarn at the top of the page and I did not see your "Turquoise" note in the OP

 

<<My Bad>> Yes turquoise is definitely good for everyone. I highly recommend it in fact.
