Baby Blanket

Hi there! It has been a long time since I last posted an article on my blog. I'm sorry about that. I had very busy days with many custom orders during the first half of this year, and my health had been bad for the second half of this year. Fortunately, I have mostly recovered. That's why I stared posting articles to my blog again. :)

During the second half of this year, I could have some free time to crochet. I'm going to introduce a baby blanket today!

I haven't crocheted any blankets until last year, this blanket is the second I have ever made. :) My first blanket was baby blanket too. I made it for my friend in Japan, but I forgot to take a picture of it...




My second cousin in Japan gave a birth to her daughter last October, so I made this blanket for her. I designed the blanket. The blanket is composed of 25 granny squares and edging. 


This granny square is very simple pattern. I assume that you have seen or tried the pattern before. It's simple, but makes blanket beautiful if you connect a lot of the granny squares!  This edging is called Aragon Crossed Edging. It contains a few complicated stitches.

To make the blanket special for my cousin, I added four Mickey Mouse motifs into the blanket! She LOVES Disney!! I knew that she was preparing baby items which had Mickey Mouse printed on them. I hope she will love the blanket. (This Mickey Mouse granny square is my original pattern.)



Update 9/23/2014
I made one more different colored Micky blanket. I changed the pattern a little bit.

    1. Hi Ramona,
      Thank you for your comment! I'd like to share the baby blanket pattern with you, but the pattern is not ready to share. I just created the pattern for myself so that easy parts including Mickey motif are still in my head. The pattern will be available on my Etsy shop from next year.

      Warm regards,
      Kazumi

    1. Hi SoCalAmmy,
      I'm sorry that my reply is late. I had been sick.
      I'm glad to hear that you like my baby blanket. However, I have to say that I can't share the pattern. When another person asked me for the pattern, I told her same thing. The pattern is not ready to share with people. Some parts of the pattern is still in my head. I wish I can have the time to complete the pattern.
      Since hypothyroid and autoimmune disease started bothering me, I can't enjoy crochet as much as I used to. I hope you understand.

      Warm regards,
      Kazumi
