As a knitter, the arrival of a new baby is always exciting- babies mean blankets!
For the arrival of my friends' baby Genevieve,I got a pound of pink yarn and used the baby blanket pattern from the Stitch n' Bitch knitting book. I altered the pattern by knitting one large stockingette square instead of four smaller squares.
The finished blanket is so soft and warm that G slept wrapped in it on a regular basis when she was a newborn!
What's your favorite pattern for baby blankets?
