Baby Blanket

I'm an auntie again! Ella Thomas Stone was born on November 15.

As soon as my sister told me she was pregnant, I began a mental list of all of the projects I would make for her.  This list continues to grow.  The first project was to crochet her a blanket.  I have been making baby blankets for family and friends for years.  I have tried many different patterns, but I always seem to go back to one of the very first blankets I made.  It came from a book called, Our Best Baby Afghans.  I have used the book so much that the pages are falling out.




It's a pretty basic pattern of shell stitches and V stitches.  I have made a few minor adjustments.  I use the pattern for the body, but have changed the edging a bit.  I like the way the ribbon looks woven through the edge.

It is very soft and cuddly.  I hope that Ella likes it as much as I do!
