Double Ruffle Baby Blanket

My neice Jazmine is having a baby, actually right now she is overdue and the baby is expected any day now. Awhile back she asked me to make a pair of grey and yellow striped boots for her baby. I said I would. But of course I wanted to make a matching baby blanket of some sort!!! This time I couldnt rely on my trusty dusty beautiful baby blanket pattern I usually use because it only looks right with one color and Im getting bored with it no matter how pretty it is! So I went in search of a pattern. I didnt like any, so I peiced together three patterns and made my "own" version of a blanket, I say own loosely! I was well pleased. It was hard to put away perfectionism and see where the blanket would take me and what I would have to do with it next with what patterns and had to reach where I was going when I didnt know where I was going. Soon I can post a picture of baby girl in wrapped in it!!!!






The Three Patterns I took from were:

The Main Body Of The Blanket I took from Here.

The Double Ruffle Idea I took from Here.

Baby Boots-ies

Made my first baby boots (first shoes at all) in crochet!!!! One I made perfect and the other one not so perfect, lol. I didnt feel like undoing the one boot that didnt match so well because I plain didnt want to and because I wanted to get started and finished with the blanket!!! LOL! My Niece Jazmine said they were perfect she is overdue with her first baby a little girl, coming any day now. As long as she was pleased, its so hard not being a perfectionist. I really should have though redone the other boot. I took the picture in a way you cant tell!!!!!


Aren't the buttons so cuuuuuute!!!!


I found the pattern here and changed the color that the 
mom wanted me to use so it could match the baby's bedroom!!!!
