March Minty Granny Square Blanket Set

A co-worker asked me to make a baby gift for her nephew who was having a baby. She asked for grey and minty green colors. I worked up a simple granny square blanket and used the join-as-you-go method for this soft and sweet baby blanket.

I used Caron One Pound Soft Grey Mix and Pale Green; and Red Heart's Soft White. I did 6 squares across by 8 squares down, and added a simple hdc, shell edging followed by a round of the green in hdc. The blanket measures 30"x40".

I added a simple stockinette stitch hat. A FREE pattern is available at the Yarnspirations website here. I went with the newborn size.

I hope you are enjoying your Sunday.

Dusting off the old knitting needles

I came across a sweet, little cabled hat pattern awhile ago, but was so obsessed with my crochet hook, that any knitting projects went by the wayside. I pulled some light blue yarn for my baby daisy afghan, but instead, started working on the hat...

It's nice to put one project down for a bit, and switch it up with another - AS LONG AS, they all get done! I hope you have a wonderful week!
