The fabric for this blanket was given to me by a dear friend. She had purchased yardage of it and had more than she needed. She gave me enough to do a blanket as well. Her daughter even cut the small slits in it needed to crochet the foundation stitch all the way around. Yes, they are amazing dear friends!
When I saw the fabric, I knew I wanted the stars to be surrounded by puffy clouds. So, I purchased a package of Bernat blanket yarn in the color white and set to work. First came the foundation stitch and then a series of crocheted loops giving it a ruffly look all the way around. (I used about half of the yarn package for the whole project.) It was super easy to do!
Once I got it finished, I decided it needed something in one of the corners and using the same yarn spelled out the word 'baby' and stitched it down with my sewing machine. If you were making this for a specific baby, instead of spelling out the word 'baby,' you could use the baby's name or initials.
It really is so very cute, and I can't wait for the occasion to gift it as a baby gift. In the meantime, it has been carefully bagged up and added to my gift trunk.
That's it for this post, what are you stitching up and or creating?
