Project Details and Feedback

Duration of Project: June 19th to July 1st 2010

Modifications: I didn't follow a specific pattern for this blanket.  I was searching and searching for something to make for a baby that could be a last minute project (I started the project right when I found out about the pregnancy and the due date is for the end of July-so I didn't have much time.) I wish I could have done something really nice and vintage looking but giving the time constraint I  knew I needed to do crochet.  Since I couldn't find a pattern that would fit what I was looking for I decided just to do double crochet. So, I chained 96 and did dc's all the way until I felt it was big enough.  I then did a border in sc with the variegated yarn.  Then I changed to a white yarn and did another border row of sc.  I finished with a shell border continuing in the white yarn.

*The 96 chain created the length of the blanket (30")

Make this pattern again?: Yes indeed, but only if time is short.  I would love to make a nicer blanket to welcome a baby into the world but this turned out to be much more lovely that I had forseen.
