Baby blanket ideas

[debbie67]

My niece is having a baby girl in March. I'm making a blanket, dress, sweater, booties & a beanie. She loves blue and did the nursery in baby blue and would like a baby blue blanket that is girly. Does anyone have a very feminine (not too difficult) pattern?

[debbie67]

No one? How about a really pretty border that might make it more feminine.

Let me look. I Have a lot of patterns.

Anything you think you might want?

Sort of a real frilly, girly border pattern

What was you thinking on the body of the afghan?

[debbie67]

She wants light blue but wants it girly. I was thinking either a granny stitch in rows or something very simple so it does not compete with the border

[BobbieJoe]

This is a very easy stitch. It makes a very beautiful warm body. It works with a variegated or solid yarn. One of my favorite.

Forget me not
