Hello!

Well, I finished the baby blanket that I’ve been working on for my cousin. The baby’s name is Scarlett (so cute!)

I chose the Merry-Go-Round pattern, because I thought it would work well with the yarn I decided on: Bernat’s Baby Blanket yarn.

This first photo is a close-up of the stitch detail:

As you can see, double crochet was used throughout.

Next is a photo of one of the points:

I didn’t choose the best point to photograph. It is slightly curled, so you are unable to see the hole created by chain stitches.

Next up is a photo of the blanket’s center:

You can see that it looks kind of wrinkled. This is due to the fact that the white yarn is a lot more elastic than the pink. It was hard to maintain an even tension.

Next is a lower angle of view:

And last, but not least, the whole enchilada:

This blanket measures (unstretched) 48 inches from point to point.

It was fun to make and the pattern is really easy to  memorize. I really like how it came out. Even my sweetie offered (when he saw me taking the pictures): “It’s cute. Well, as cute as a guy can think something is.”

I hope grandma and mommy agree.
