Brynlee's Baby Blanket

Hello everyone!

If you follow me on Instagram, then you have seen a few black and white photos on my feed in the past couple weeks. If you don't follow me on Instagram - well shame on you! - you should click here and start following the fun!  

It is finally time to reveal the colors of the baby blanket that I had to post in black and white!  
FYI - I had to post in B&W because I didn't want to ruin the surprise for the mommy-to-be, but I will be at the baby shower when this post is scheduled to go live.  So, no more worrying about ruining the surprise.


I thought about so many different patterns to crochet for this baby blanket.


I was set on the colors I wanted to use - Brynlee's nursery is peacock theme, so this was my way of going with that, without being to matchy-matchy.


The good old granny square seemed to be the perfect fit to show off how fun these colors are.


A simple scalloped edge seemed to be the perfect edging for this project.



I am so in love with this blanket!


I think my dear friend, Holly, will enjoy wrapping up little Brynlee with this granny square blanket.

Thank you all for coming by to check out this baby blanket!  
Enjoy your day!

Retro Girl Baby Blanket

Hello, and Happy Saturday!

I am just going to write a quick post about the new baby blanket that I just added to my Etsy shop!


This is one of my favorite baby blankets that I have ever done.  I think because it is different - color wise - than anything I have crocheted before.

I used Red Heart yarns for this blanket.  For the 12 squares, I used Red Heart with Love in Berry Red, and the other two colors are all Red Heart Super Saver in Hot Pink and Carrot.

The square pattern is called Tricolor Square, and is block number 35 from the book 200 Crochet Blocks for Blankets, Throws, and Afghans by Jan Eaton.


For the border, I used Gold from Red Heart Super Saver.  
I found the pattern for the border on Pinterest, and it is available for free - but it is a graph, unless you understand Chinese.

That is all for now!  Follow my blog for more crochet fun!  Also find me on FacebookInstagram, and Twitter.

Best Wishes,
Alison
