Three weeks ago, my cousin had another baby: „boy N°3.“ His name is Peter and the cousin asked for a blanket for her little son. (Isn’t it always nice to be asked?!)
Of course, I started crocheting at once 🙂
Last night the blanket was done: blue circles on white, 25 squares, joined as I went. Classic granny style, an easy task, lightweight and airy. I just need to block it (blocking is magic!) but couldn’t wait to take (and share) a picture.
As soon as the blanket is blocked and dry, we’ll be ready to meet the young man!
This is the baby blanket I made for „boy N°1“ – Peter’s eldest brother. Supposedly, he still uses it when napping.
Now that I come to think of it – I never made a blanket for the second little boy. Neither knitted, nor crochet. Well, … maybe I should get back to my needles …

Postscript: The blanked is blocked and ready to travel.
Definitely make one for the second one. They all deserve their own blanket. Every time they see them they will think of you.Have you seen this pattern? http://www.freewebs.com/bethintx/dropinthepondlaprobe.htm I have made it several times as a gift. It is an easy variation of the ripple and people loved it.
I guess you’re right – making one for N°2 (his name is Otto) is a must 🙂 Thanks for the pattern link!
That looks like a nice quick crochet, although what do I know? I need to learn how someday.
Yes, it’s nice quick and easy crochet. One-on-one lessons if ever you make it to Berlin.
Hah. Deal.
