Cutest. Baby. Blanket. Ever.
Posted by Brian September 28, 2006
Here is the blanket which I made for my new nephew, Bryce. I delivered it a couple of weeks ago. Wallow in the cuteness. Bryce didn’t appreciate it, of course, but Mom and all the old aunts and grannies cooed over it.
Oh, and yes, I took pictures of the kid, too. 
But that was a different camera, and I don’t have access to those just yet.
The patterns for the animals came from the book Color-Bright Creatures Afghans, though the final product is not exactly like any of the afghans in the book.
You can click on the images for a larger version.
Here is the whole thing.
The turtle may be my least favorite.
The pig was the favorite of several people. Unfortunately, it’s the only animal which only appears twice on the blanket.
The lion was the easiest to make.
Frog. Look at his squiggly legs!
The dog is cute, but it was the most annoying to make. Lots of little pieces to sew together. I hate sewing together lots of little pieces.
The bear may be my favorite, though I don’t think I took a picture of the best bear.
I think I liked the bird better than everybody else did.
Yes, I agree, it just may be the cutest baby blanket ever. The pig and the frog are my two favorites. I think Bryce did like it, he seemed to really look at it when we held it up for him. And hurry up and get those other pictures posted or emailed to me!! All the ladies at my work ooohed and aaahed over it, too. Judi says you have to make her next grandchild one just like it.
Love.It. You should enter one like it in a state fair.
Everyone else should look at my blog to read about the Brian Harmon Crochet Beginnings.
Brian,
Very cute. And do show us pics when you get them.
Hi Brian! great job on your afghan. i bought the same book and have been working on the afghan for a couple of weeks. did you downsize to fit a crib? the pattern i have calls for 15-16 of each of the colored blocks, not including animals. it is going to be really big, i’m afraid!
Yes, Doreeen, the afghan I made is only about half the size of what is called for in the book.
