FO: Baby Blanket

LoveBugAngel · 02-01-2012, 06:01 PM

This is my first attempt at knitting a baby blanket. I knit it on the diagonal and used the pattern for a dishcloth ha ha! It's not perfect but I can't wait to give it to my cousins wife for baby Irelynn.

Here it is

Beautiful! Very well done. Looks nothing like a dishcloth to me! Isn't it great that some things are so adapable? Keep up the great work.

Thank you! Yes so fabulous that all I had to do was use more stitches and ta daa! I am also happy I found use for the yarn!

You are just amazing. This blanket looks lovely. I'm sure it will be a family treasure and a much beloved blankie. Well done!

I think it looks like the one that gets dragged around because the child loves it so much. It might not make it heirloom status.

Oh, that's an adorable baby blanket--lucky kiddo! And you used up the yarn you didn't like, too. That's always a plus!

That's so pretty! You did a great job and I'm sure they will love it!

Wonderful work! And what a darling name for the little baby girl: Irelynn!
