I decided to make a blue blanket for one of my friends that's having a baby boy, and I tried so hard to find a good pattern, one that I liked. I looked through most of my crochet books (and I have a bunch!), but I couldn't find anything that I really liked. There were a couple of possibilities, but the more I looked at them, the less I liked them. What was I going to do? Then I walked by Daniel's room and saw this blanket. Of course! I'll just make that one again, but with more baby-ish colors! And that's what I did.
This blanket measures about 3 feet square, and I made it with Bernat Softee Baby yarn. The pattern came from Snuggle Squares. (I'm writing all of this stuff down so I'll have it for future reference. I really hate it when I want to remake a blanket but cannot find the pattern for it.)
For more Finished Object Friday, head over to Fresh from the Chari Tree.

Very pretty!! I like the blue and white!
Have you ever checked out Ravelry.com? It's a great way to keep track of patterns and projects. Plus it has a search feature that helps you find just about any pattern online and in books - and you can limit the search to free patterns. You can add needle (hook) :) sizes for your projects, yarn and everything. Plus see what yarn others have used in a particular pattern. It's great! :) Here is a link to one of my project pages to show you: http://ravel.me/Charitree/yudex
It turned out great!! I love that color of blue.
Lovely Nikki!
Chari, I'm actually on revalry; I just don't use it very often. But I probably should.
Ravelry really has helped me keep track of the projects I've done and also yarn and needle sizes. You can find me as "charitree" over there. (surprise!) ;)
Turned out great! I cherish all my handmade gifts when my babies were born--so meaningful when someone took the time to make it!
