Thank you! I love that border and I am thinking of other blankets that need this border.

Oh my goodness, how beautiful is this blanket! The border finishes it off so lovely. Looks so Squichy & Soft. A must to wrap your little baby with.

Thank you…I have fallen deeply in love with that border…I think it needs to be on my next blanket, but have a lacey twist to it.

This is such a beautiful baby afghan. I never make baby things because my grands are now teens and young adults. Now, it looks like I am going to need to make one because I now have a great grand on the way. Can’t think of one more beautiful than this one! Perfect timing!
Kris says
Oh my goodness! A great grandbaby! Congratulations!! I am just so tickled! Will the baby be close in proximity to you all?

Becky Hanne says
Hi Kris, I started the Baby Blue blanket about a month ago. I had to put it down to make a prayer shawl. I have come back to your website to continue but the actual free pattern is missing. All the information on the specialty stitches are there. Am I missing where to find the pattern? I am about half way through the base pattern but I need the instructions for the rest. Can you help me please.
Kris says
Hi Becky,
The time has come that I will be putting a lot of my crochet patterns as premium only. There are several reasons for this. I am keeping a lot of my crochet patterns as free, but this pattern will no longer be free on the blog.
