Last year, my mom asked me if I had any pink crochet baby blankets already made. Her friend was pregnant with her first child, and she wanted to give her a crochet baby blanket as a baby shower gift. I didn't have one already made, so I whipped one up really quick! I have so many crochet pattern books, so I looked through one of my favorites and found a pattern for a lovely baby blanket that would be perfect for a summer baby. I really enjoyed making the
Lacy Blooms Blanket, so I decided to make another, but with lavender and yellow flowers this time.
To create this blanket, I followed a pattern in the crochet book
A Year of Baby Afghans Book 5. The first time I made this blanket, I crocheted pink and purple flowers, but this time I made purple and yellow flowers just like the blanket in the pattern book.
Here are the first two panels crocheted together.
I love the edges of this blanket!
The pattern worked up quick, especially once I memorized it, which didn't take long.
Now that I've made this blanket with pink & purple flowers and purple and yellow flowers, I think I'll make one with pink & yellow flowers! This is such a fun pattern!
So pretty, love it :)

DeleteWhat a beautiful gift. I love the little flowers, and how you can just "whip up" a blanket!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
DeleteThat's so lovely T’onna. What a beautiful pattern and I bet your Mom's friend is super happy with it. I've never mastered the art of crocheting but always admire other people who can do it. Gorgeous work
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Michelle!
DeleteIt's beautiful! I love the lavender and yellow together. I've been making baby blankets for our church, we gift them to babies when they are baptized. Thanks for sharing at #HomeMattersParty
ReplyDeleteThanks! That's really sweet of you to make blankets for the baptized babies! 😊
DeleteThis little baby blanket is beautiful. Baby blankets are so nice to have and are so timeless. What a beautiful gift for you to make for your Mom to share, and a lovely baby keepsake as well.
