Another one of my best friends had a baby recently, so I’m an aunt! During The Pandemic Times, I taught myself how to crochet in an effort to crochet enough snowflakes to fill a flat rate USPS shipping box for my grandmother’s Christmas present. Alas, the winter holiday flurried past and no snowflakes were shipped.
The unintended consequence of learning how to crochet meant that I now had another method of making a baby blanket for the new arrival. I found some of the softest yarn I could in the most cheerful colors, and these two beauties resulted.
I used this pattern from Mama in a Stitch for the crochet blanket.
I used this pattern from Leelee Knits for the knit blanket.
