November 16: Baby Gingham Blanket - COMPLETED

Pattern # 320:  Baby Gingham

A friend asked to make a blanket for her baby boy.  While searching, I found this pattern and I love it.  I could do it in blues, greens, or whites.
--------------------------------

Updated March 22, 2012: I finished this blanket about a week before the baby shower! I ended up making it for a different friend's baby boy and she LOVED it. Thank goodness. It was 241 little squares. Whew. I actually made 244 because I lost 3 in the couch. I was so confused when I was down to the last three... because I knew I had counted accurately! I found the missing squares two days later. Oh well. I used Lion Brand Pound of Love and I think a different pound of yarn in three different shades. LOVE how it turned out!

This is a sweet pattern from Lucy at Attic 24. This blanket would be gorgeous in bright colors!

Updated April 7, 2013: I really love how this blanket came out. It was a staple on our couch until the dog ate a hole in the middle. Sigh. I'm too lazy to fix it. It seemed to take forever, but I think only because I kept starting other projects! Anywho, you can see the evolution of the blanket on the blog (I finished last year, it has just taken FOREVER to upload the pics. And they aren't that amazing!)
