A quick crochet project

My sister-in-law is expecting her first baby in April. We're all pretty excited about it.

She had her baby shower last Saturday (March 3rd) and I decided to make something for the baby.

I got on Pinterest and looked at all my pins for crochet, but didn't see anything I liked for a baby boy. So then I decided to look on Ravelry.

Bingo!

I looked at several things and finally decided to go with the Hudson Baby Blanket. It's an easy pattern and was a pretty quick stitch.........especially for me since I seem to always have too much to do and not enough time. Oh, and add to that that I decided to do this in the middle of February, completely ignoring that March was just a couple of weeks away.

Regardless, I got it done.

 

The pattern calls for Bernat Baby Blanket yarn, but my closest store didn't have that in the colors I needed. Instead, I opted for Bernat Maker Home Decor yarn in Pebble Beach and Aqua and crocheted with the two yarns together.

To package it for gift giving, I used a cake box with the clear opening in the lid.


I think she liked it.
