David Henry was born nearly a month ago, our son's best friend's new baby brother. His blanket went through several pattern changes along the way, but I finally settled on Mirbeau, by Brenda Lewis.
It's a slip stitch pattern that looks impressive but is really so easy! For me, the hardest part was carrying the colors up the side. I really, really, really don't like weaving in ends. That side looked so messy I decided to crochet a little border all the way around to hide the edges.
The yarn is Caron's Simply Soft. I wanted the blanket to be easy to wash and dry - this is the third little boy in that house! When I washed the finished blanket, it came out of the dryer even softer than when it went in. Our littlest boy approves.
Welcome to the world, David!

Beautiful! I love how the colors you chose creates an obvious "bunny rabbit" row- at least to my eyes! The crochet edges make a nice finishing touch. Isn't it wonderful how a bit of creativity can transform our messiness into beauty...
