Happy Baby Blanket

Lion Brand® Cotton-Ease (new)

GAUGE:

4 dc-groups + 8 rows = 4” (10 cm) in pattern. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you less stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Happy Baby Blanket Reviewed by Lisa on 2008-01-20 *****
This pattern was super easy to work up. I used cotton ease (which I love and I'm so glad it's back!) in lime, white, lilac and almond in an effort to have unisex colors for a new baby. Super cute! Now, I'm looking for a hat pattern to accompany it for a complete gift set.
