I used a pattern from Cute and Easy Crochet by Nicki Trench. It's a very simple ripple pattern and I enjoyed it.
These photos were taken whilst it was being blocked. I finished it on Monday night and was blocking it around 10.30, way past my bed time! Having to give it to her on the Friday, I knew I didn't have any other chance to get daylight pictures so I took these on the Tuesday when I had a day off (craft class - coming up!).
I started it back in November, plenty of time! Then I didn't work on it again until February. Unfortunately, although I remembered how much I like to crochet, and although I liked the pattern and the yarn, it hurt my hands and I could only do a couple of rows at a time so it took forever!
I'm not sure it is big enough so I'm hoping she has a little baby!

a lovely baby blanket, sorry to read you have problems crocheting, I cannot knit anymore but the crochet seems okay just find it hard to understand how to do it!
A nice soft and cuddly gift. I recently made something similar for our new to be arrival in May so they can use it for the car seat too xcx
It's lovely so simple but pretty and just right for a little one, I'm sure they'll love it! Congrats to the parents too :-)
