Bold Baby Boy Blanket

[simonssez]

Thought I'd share this since it's become quite the popular pattern as of late. I made it for a close friend whose 2nd son was born in early july. I'm so proud that this is the one (out of several she received from numerous people) that stays with him in his carseat and when they're out and about! She uses it to cover up when nursing as well. I used the 'newish' lion brand cotton-ease yarn...it's so soft!

What is the name of the pattern? I have seen pictures of it, but not the name. Thanks.

I have that pattern also. Looking at yours makes me want to start it. I just love the colors you used. Great Job:cheer:yes Thanx for mentioning what yarn you used. That helps me, because I didn't know what kind of yarn to use. I wanted to use something soft.

That is beautiful Sam! Great job! Lovin' the colors too!

[crazycrochet]

Thank you, I have that pattern book. I have always looked at the pattern but never in a million years thought it would turn out looking like that. Thanks again.

[crochetgirl2]

Wowser, that sure turned out NICE - luv the colors, great job!

[LoudNoises!]

Looks great! Love the bright colors! I actually have one in pastel colors, someone gave it to me when I had one of my babies, I've always wanted to try and duplicate it but haven't quite figured it out yet, lol. Did you use baby yarn, or ww? If using ww, can you tell me about how much yarn you went through and how big the blanket ended up? I have a 2 1/2 year old I'd like to make one for, but it would need to be bigger than 28". Thanks!

I actually didn't use either. LOL I used lionbrand cotton ease which is a lightweight cotton/acrylic blend. I used not quite a whole skein of each of the colors, and about 1/4 of a skein of the taupe since it's the one I used the most of. I didn't think to measure it but I'd say it was roughly about 20" or so square. It's easy to continuing adding rounds to this pattern though!

[champygirl]

That is gorgeous, I like the colors you used.

[Lisa]

I love your colors! It looks kind of southwestern in the pic in the blue room. I've made this so many times over the years, 2 of them fitting a full size bed! Love it! Good job!

[Cocoa Cream]

That is a neat pattern! And I like the way you chose to do it without the square corners. The colors really make the geometric pattern stand out, too!

[Debbi-a1]

Beautiful blanket! You did a great job.

[SHERYL]

Lovely work ~ great colors.

[misssmaggie]

The colors are great...I like the bold colors for babies !!! Thanks for sharing!

[bobwilson123]

wow your blanket looks great !!!

[hooked2]

I agree with Cocoa. Leaving off the square corners makes it very sophisticated for a baby. No wonder your friend uses it so much! You did a great job with it!!
