How cute is this “Taffy Blues” Baby Blanket? I crocheted it within a few days, using the C2C method of crocheting for the blanket portion and then added a border. The blanket portion uses 4 of Yarn Bee’s Sugarwheels. The 5th one is for the border and uses less than half. The remainder would be great to make matching accessories — a hat, booties, bib, etc...
I’m not affiliated with Yarn Bee in any form or fashion but I have to say I love working with the Sugarwheel yarns. The gradual color changes makes for beautiful projects. Check out my Forestry C2C Blanket in “Gelato is My Motto” — varying shades of greens that is simply gorgeous. Here’s the LINK for the FREE pattern...
