ISO very easy pattern for baby blankets.

**Early Bird** · 01-09-2005, 10:28 AM

I was invited to a last-minute baby shower over the holidays. With no time to shop, all I could do was give a gift certificate, and, since I didn't want to appear cheap, I spent more than I wanted.

I can knit and crochet a bit. About 38 years ago, I crocheted an afghan. And I'm knitting a fuzzy scarf for DD.

Anyway, 2 woman gave wonderful, soft, homemade baby blankets. They used specialty yarns -- and they got rave reviews.

I'd like to make some baby blankets like that for my gift stash.

Any suggestions?
