Here's a baby blanket I made for my little niece Emma. It's the second blanket I have ever made in my life. It only took me 4 days to crochet it, spending no more than 2 hours each day. For some (including my grandma) this may seem like an eternity...but for me...it was super fast! I crocheted this blanket using only 25 granny squares. I then joined the squares using a single crochet stitch, making sure the "window effect" would stay on what later would become the front of my blanket. Usually we want this effect to go at the back of the blanket, but for this project I wanted the squares to stand out.
Finally, once I put together all of the squares, I simply crocheted around it, pretending I was making one big granny square.
For the border, I crocheted the last two rows using a single crochet stitch in different colours and I ended my blanket with bobble stitch which I found in Heidi Bears Blog: http://heidibearscreative.blogspot.co.nz/2012/01/crocheted-bobble-edging-tutorial.html
Hope you like it ;)
