Baby Blanket Ta Dah!

Finished just in the nick of time
and ready for a baby shower this weekend,
and an arrival in early November.
And a pillow to match...
...the nursery bedding.
Yarn is 100% washable wool from Knit Picks and Bernat Country Garden.
"H" crochet hook.
Nursery fabric is a sheet from Land of Nod,
"Bright-Eyed and Bushy Tailed".
Sewn into a pillow with a little stitched yarn detail.
Crochet pattern is from Jan Eaton's 
"Ripple Stitch Patterns".
It's called Bobble Zigzags.
And the border is:
1 row of 1 sc, 1 ch, repeat.
Then two rows of dc.

Wishing you a happy day!

      Thanks Pretty. The mother-to-be chose the gender neutral colors as she does not know what she is having. -)

    What a pretty baby's blanket in a bobble zigzag pattern! I love that Jan Eaton's pattern book too. My very first baby blanket was done in a zig-zag pattern for my first-born.
    That pillow with the animal design is fun and lovely how the colours match the blanket!

    Absolutely gorgeous blanket Astri and the way you've coordinated the colours with the fabric - will make that new Momma's heart sing! Love the bobbly zigzag pattern - what a lovely way to add extra texture to the blanket. E x

    Love this unique blanket! The unusual color-combo (which is perfect, I think) and the bobble-ripple look great together!

    Wow Astri! It is gorgeous. Ziz-zags and bobbles together are beautiful. I think I would be very, very confused. Everything matches perfectly. What a wonderful gift it will be. Best wishes, Tammy
