Rainbow Love Baby Blanket

Yes more crochet!

I made this baby blanket for my daughter Starlet who is expecting a baby, due in April ♡, my very first grandchild to be!

After making my crochet shoulder bags, I really got into ‘crochet mode’, and not really being the ‘knitting nana’ type (!!!) ~ besides, this little one already has a nana, and a great-grandmother knitting! ~ I still wanted to do something special for this newcomer in the big wide world, and ~ having had six babies of my own, I know how fast babies grow out of their tiny little baby clothes!

Hence, the blanket! This will be multipurpose of course, and will fit into a bassinet (folded) and a cot, and can serve as a colourful play mat or or even a wall hanging just as a decoration in the nursery, or to pin little messages, pictures, nappy pins, or other decorations onto!

No doubt this blanket will be made to good use, and in any case, I have really enjoyed crocheting every stitch of it! ♡
