Pattern: Rainbow Ripply Baby Blanket
Size: 33 rounds, plus one round of crab stitch
Hook: 5.5mm (US I/9)
Yarns: Hobby Lobby’s “I Love This Yarn!” in four shades of blue, completely replicated from the wonderful AFwifeCrochetNut, who hit it out of the park, again. Here’s her blanket: Little Boy Blue. I only changed the darkest color. I found a more…greenish(?) teal for that.
Do you remember my Study in Pink blanket from last year? Well, I loved it so much I HAD to make it in blue. We were blessed to have a cousin expecting a baby and I knew it’d be the perfect blanket. By the way, she delivered a beautiful baby boy, last month! I think he’s grandma’s tenth or eleventh great grandson. Can you believe that out of thirteen or so great grands, only two are girls? Bananas! I don’t complain because I love love love blue.
Have you made any baby blankets, lately? Do you find yourself gravitating to the same patterns over and over?

I love the blues, it’s really beautiful! I haven’t made any baby blankets in a long time, I’m hoping a cousin will announce a pregnancy soon!
yes! I am always hoping one of my cousins will surprise me with a new baby to crochet for!
I LOVE this blanket! I’ve had this pattern fav’d on Rav for the longest time. It always catches my eye whenever I see one around. Did you arrange the shades according to your whimsy or you followed the pattern?
OMG! I can’t believe I forgot to put the inspiration in my post. I’ve edited to include a link to the blue blanket I fell in love with on Ravelry, from AFwifeCrochetNut (http://www.ravelry.com/projects/AFwifeCrochetNut/rainbow-ripple-baby-blanket-57).
Congratulations!
Blanket is so bueatuful with all shades of blue, reminds me of snow flake. How long did it take to crochet it?
