Using a doily pattern as a baby blanket? ** Updated with a picture**

[Shebop]

Hi Girls,

I've been looking for the "right" pattern for my new niece's baby blanket. I want something light and open, yet pretty and appropriate for a baby.

Has anyone used a doily pattern to make a baby blanket using soft yarn?

I found this pattern at crochetpatterncentral (scroll to the bottom to see the finished doily)

I like the hearts. Do you think this will work?

I'm thinking of using purple carron ss yarn (my sil loves purple) and maybe trying to make the hearts each a different color (ie.. red, yellow, white, pink, orange...)

 

Thanks for your thoughts!

It beautiful but you're going to want to look for something closer to 30 rounds.

hahah I just saved this picture yesterday. The usual concern for me is the size of the holes when you make a doily in worsted weight. will the holes become too large that the baby will get stuck?
