My sweet niece, Myla, came into the world in September. I love her so much already and loved her the instant I met her. She is such a sweet baby and is such a little people person already. She loves to lay on your chest, stare into your eyes, and giggle/flirt. As I said, I love her.
So when she was born, I wanted her to have a little blanket. Kala (my sister in law) did her room in coral, gold, mint, and navy. She did such a great job with it and it totally reflects Kala's awesome style. I wanted the blanket to match her room so that it wasn't something Kala felt like she needed to keep in a drawer.
The act of making a baby blanket is so special to me. The hours spent making each stitch - it feels like an act of praying over that baby and her life. Knowing the blanket will keep her warm and bring her comfort - it's like getting to know her and take care of her before she was even here.
This is definitely a pattern I'll use again. The blanket is perfect for a stroller or carseat - it's big enough to cover her and keep her warm but not so big that it takes up too much space.
I really like the way this pattern lays - the way the blanket naturally ripples.
I used this pattern from eat, knit & diy and highly recommend it if you want to make your own.
