SAND & SEA Baby Afghan
|
|
I wanted a baby blanket whose styling was untraditional, yet derived from a traditional source! This design's inspiration was an antique block quilt. I used a wide rib, with just single purl stitiches to simulate the quilting stitches. I used the tans and blue greens of beach and surf. And, so it was only natural to have a shell edging, which is quickly crocheted.
The squares are very portable and easy to work. And using 2 strands of worsted weight yarn together makes it a quick project, as well - great for that last minute baby shower gift!
