The pattern is from this book - I got it at JoAnn's but if you click the image it will take you to where you can get it at Annie's Attic. It was a fun pattern to work and the edging was unique in the way it went together. The only problem I had with it was in the first round of the edging (the round of single crochets that is the foundation for the rest) it has you do 2 more stitches than my math tells me is necessary for the edge - if you follow the directions, you will end up with 502 sc's around the outside - however to work with the rest of the edging (and to avoid pulling out a half finished round because it didn't work out right - and your hair along with it) you need 500 - once i figured that out and made marks all over my pattern to remind myself if I make this again - It was an easy and fun pattern. Hopefully my friends little boy enjoys it as much as I enjoyed making it. I used Bernat Baby Coordinates Yarn - the boucle type yarn - in blue green and white. The blanket came out so soft and snuggly! I think it took 3 skeins.....
I've been working on lots of stuff and even finished some of it, and maybe I'll get around to getting some of it posted here. :)
