I saw this and decided I must make one too! I have started one in a light purple and a dusty rose color. It looks great. It is crocheting really fast. I think I will be done with it maybe today, but definetly tommorrow. Then I can start another one! We have a bunch of baby showers coming up at church. So I will be ready! Becky

That was so easy and so fun to do. I completed the one I was making. It was for a project the crochet/knit group I am in was doing. It is not really that wonky in person, it was just hard to get it even for the picture, you know blankets don't always behave for pictures. I added 4 rows around it because even after adding 9 stitches to the total it still didn't feel big enough. And since the pattern is set to go one direction and then the other in the next row, I did the same thing on the way around, slipping to join each row.

I'm soooo slow. I'm only about 1/2 way done on mine. Maybe I will make a lot progress this weekend.

I started this blanket last week, using Wendy Darling chenille yarn. It is soooo soft, and drapes beautifully! I'm about halfway done with it, I'll have to pick up about 3 more balls to finish.

 

I just wanted to peek and say this pattern is so easy! I love it. I have 2 more baby blankets to make, and I'm definitely going to use this pattern for all of them.

Your blankets are both fabulous!! They look so soft and cuddly!!

 

I have to get going on mine. The baby shower it is for is next week!!!

Ok, I've never made a baby blanket or any kind of blanket before, so I"m kind of lost. How do I know when it's big enough? What are the normal measurements for this kind of thing?

Wow love the colors you used for your baby crochet along..

I have been busy with a few shrugs and scrafs... but... as soon as I finish this shrug I am working on for my dd I will have to try that pattern..

Love the texture and I am forever crocheting baby gifts here.

Busy church we attend.. actually all the young persons who grew up with my dds are having their familes so I have wanted these new parents grow up.. Mine are still single so no grandhoppers here yet.. I will wait...

I've heard 3' x 4' for baby blankets, but I think it depends on the size you prefer.

[NancyCA]

3 X 4 feet is the size I usually make as well. Not too big, but it can wrap around the baby easily.

Well the shower is on Thursday and I only have one skein of each yarn left, so I guess mine will end up being whatever I have enough yarn and time for!

[airmedh]

I didn't make it in time for the shower, but I did finally finish it:

 

 

You can click on the image to see a more up close look. It turned out very soft and the lady I made it for LOVES it!

[clocke]

Oooh that's pretty! And it looks so soft too.

[airmedh]

Thanks! It's extremely soft and made me want to take a nap in it.
