Baby granny blanket!

By
July 19, 2012

Hellooooooooooooo!

I’m very proud to show you today my baby granny blanket in all its glory 🙂 Tadaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

 This blanket was crocheted with the Nako Vizon …a 100% acrylic yarn with a 4mm crochet hook.

It is made with 48 traditional 4 rounds granny squares joined together as-I-go…

You can find the graphic pattern for the traditional granny square HERE!

And for the joining-as-you-go method, I use Lucy’s wonderful tuto that you can find HERE 🙂

The edging is crocheted with two granny rounds (1 in brown followed by 1 in blue) then a round of my favorite ole-ole border that you can find HERE 🙂 I just love this border and I can’t help my-self using it everytime 🙂

Now I’m taking extreme pleasure in buying boys’s toys 🙂 after many years of princesses and pink stuff 🙂

 Like this cute little bear… Isn’t it adorable?

Or these little colorful wood cars …

Before I go today, I want to thank you all for the wonderful comments you leave here. I’m trying my best to write a small thank you to each one of you but sometimes I just can’t… so if I’m not answering you back, do excuse me…I always visit your blog and follow it with my reader but I don’t often have enough time to leave comments 🙁

I wish you a wonderful and colorful day…

Here the weather is soooo hot and sunny I can barely move 🙂

BIG BIG kisses!

    I don’t normally post a comment on someone’s site. But I just had to tell you how much I love your posts. They are so happy, cheery, bright, uplifting, there aren’t enough adjectives for me to describe them. You turn the simplest stitch into a beautiful blanket with your color choices. Please keep posting and showing us pictures of those beautiful projects.

    Angie, your baby blanket is exquisite! What a lucky little son you are going to have! When is your baby due to arrive and meet the world?

    I know you are a very busy lady, so please don’t feel you need to send me a personal reply 🙂

    I enjoy your blog very much and thank you for sharing a part of your world with the rest of us.

    Good Morning Angie,

    WOW!!!!! Your baby blanket came out so BEAUTIFUL!!! What a lucky ducky your son is going to be with everything you have prepared for his arrival! Where do you have the time to write back to your blog fans? I agree with Carolyn Geoffrey, in that you don’t need to send me a personal reply. Just reading your blog and seeing your wip’s is so fulfilling and I know you appreciate our comments as much as we appreciate and enjoy reading your blog. I can just picture you on the floor with your son playing with all of his little toys and picture the smiles and little laughs coming from his mouth. 🙂 Have a great day, Angie!

    wonderful!! I remember buying a little bear before I even got pregnant with my first and then a little wooden mouse on wheels, our hearts make room for the new babe before they even join us on earth…best wishes…too bad we can’t have a baby shower for you!! I would buy him a little olympic t-shirt from canada, oh yes..and something for the girls too!!

  61. Jeannette

    I love it…, it is a beautiful baby granny blanket, you can be proud of it.
    Can you tell me what you mean with ‘joined together as-I-go’ in: “It is made with 48 traditional 4 rounds granny squares joined together as-I-go…”

  62. EllyD
