Ripply Baby Blanket - Done!

Hi everyone!

I finally finished the baby blanket (and more here) yesterday!  I didn't know how I wanted to finish it, and puttered around trying to make a decision. I wanted to add in the green, but I wasn't happy how my ideas were all turning out.  It stood like this for awhile - the full sun makes it look so different, too! What kind of silly person takes color dependent pictures in full evening sun??? Oh wait, me. Oh well. :)


In the end, I ran two lines of double crochet border in the green, and added tricot/clover leaf puffs on each wave "crest".


I think they are cute little "leaflets", don't you?




Here's what the colors really look like, a photo shoot in the shade instead :



I'll be sending it to it's new forever home soon. Just trying to decide if I need to make a stuffed toy to go with it.  Any amigurumi ideas?

Have a great one!

PS - I shared this over at Creative Me's Blog Hop:

  3. Thanks! I really love this pattern - it's so soothing to make I almost fall asleep every time. :) It works up really quickly with a thick yarn too, so small projects are fast to make.
