I made this baby blanket for a friend. Her granddaughter was having her first birthday. I liked the idea of using a muticolored yarn and just not changing colors in a basic round ripple pattern. I used Bernat Baby Boucle color Fancy Free. I love those colors! It was a whopping 10.5 oz skein and I finished it off. It came out to be about 4 feet in diameter. I used Caron Simply Soft for the edging and the butterfly. My friend requested that I embroider initials in the blanket. I am pretty terrible at embroidering, but I gave it my all. You probaly wouldn't know that the initials are HRB if I didn't tell you! The butterfly was a creation based mostly on HDC and SlSt. I am not entirely satisfied with the shape of the butterfly. I would never give out the pattern for that until I can get it just right, but I was trying to finish the blanket before the birthday!
