My pharmacist, Mike, and his wife just welcomed their third baby, a girl, into this world. I wanted to make them a special gift to wrap their new bundle of joy in.
I used "I Love This Yarn" from Hobby Lobby in Pink, Greybeard and Periwinkle. It's a #4 worsted weight yarn. This yarn is so soft that makes it perfect for babies. The pattern itself is simple enough, even for a beginner.
The blanket measures approximately 29" x 35".

Gauge: 12 HHDC stitches x 10 rows = 4"
