Ribbons & Ruffles Crocheted Baby Blanket

How beautiful is this blanket??? It is the perfect keepsake and can be customized using ribbon of your choice. Which means you can start working on it long before you know if the baby will be a boy or girl.

I made one for Sophie that I trimmed with pink ribbon and another one trimmed in blue ribbon for a close friend who was having a little boy. It’s made up of shell stitches with scalloped edging.

 We had both Sophie’s and Audrey’s newborn pictures taken with the blanket. 

And carried both of them out of the hospital in it!

It’s a time consuming project though, so probably only one that you’d want to make for yourself, a family member or a close friend. I worked on it off and on the whole time I was pregnant with Sophie.

The pattern came from a book called So Sweet Baby Afghans by Leisure Arts Little Books. I’ve had it for years – the copyright is 1999 – so more than likely it is out of print but you might be able to find a copy on eBay.

If you have time to invest in a big crochet project this blanket makes a beautiful keepsake.
