This particular set of a receiving blanket and matching burp cloth was made for a reader's new granddaughter. The tiny rosebud fabric is such a classic print, and I just love working with it.
Crocheting the edging is not difficult. Tutorials abound on the internet including mine here from 2007.
The stitch I used for this edging is as follows:
Rnd 1: Single crochet round blanket. Slip stitch to connect the last stitch to the first stitch.
Rnd 2: *Single crochet in next stitch. 5 double crochet in next stitch. Single crochet in next stitch.* Repeat around the edge of the blanket. Join and tie off.
The pea green baby set is also finished! I just love the little booties...so fun to knit.
The patterns:
Sweater: Paxton Jacket
Booties: Seamless Top-Down Booties
Hat: Easy Peasy Hat
These kind of receiving blankets are my favorite! This is a lovely gift for a new baby.:)
