Pink or White

[CLLinda]

Hi Everyone,

 

I'm working on a sweet little afghan for a neighbor's baby due in December. I have the afghan made, all in ILTY soft pink. I was thinking about doing a ruffle of triple crochets all the way around it.

 

I don't know if I should continue in pink and make it a solid pink afghan, or do I make the ruffle in white with a edging in pink.

 

I do have enough yarn for both, so I just really want to make this afghan special. She already has a boy, so a girl will be very nice.

 

So, solid pink or white and pink trim?

 

What's your opinion?

How about a double ruffle? A ruffle around in white and then work behind the first ruffle with a larger ruffle of pink? I've done this before and it gives a really nice layered edge. Just a thought.... have fun!!

It depends on the afghan/pattern. Will it look like you ran out of yarn and did a quick fix with the white? Honestly some do. Or will it look intended and make the afghan stand out even more? Again, some do that.

White ruffle with pink trim sounds pretty!

To me it also depends on the purpose of the blanket, if it is meant to be loved & abused I would stay away from white because it will look dirtier quicker.

Ruffle in white with the pink edging gets my vote!!

I'd stick with the solid pink blanket. Or, as one person said, a double ruffle is nice. I did the one below and it turned out very pretty.

I would stick with the solid color, it will look great that way.
