for Anna Raine

 
Another sweet little baby blanket for Anna Raine
who is scheduled to arrive Monday, June 30.
 


I had originally planned to do a Granny Square blanket. 
The more I worked on it, the more unhappy I became with it.
I ripped it out and waited for inspiration.  It finally came in the mail last Friday.
This pattern was from Simply Crochet, Issue 19. 
This is the first time I have attempted something other than a
Granny square, ripple or stripe.
 


The border was really fun to work up.  I changed up the heart border that the pattern called for with just a simple scalloped border.  I will definitely try the heart border on my next one.



Ta-Dah...one sweet little blanket.  Perfect size for a crib or a stroller. 
Also perfect size to wrap up a beautiful little girl to hold and give lots of kisses to.
 


I love the waffle looking border!
 


All wrapped up and ready to go!
