G for a girl

In my weaving in those loose ends post I showed a picture of a half finished blanket I was making for my niece.  I'm pleased to say that I have finished it and couldn't wait until Christmas to give it to her, so she has it and loves it because it's pink (what a clever Auntie I am knowing she likes pink!!)

And here is the finished blanket

It's really straight forward to make, the G and the cream background is made up of plain granny squares, with a border of  3 rows of single crochet around the letter to make it stand out more, then just rows and rows of granny stitches and a fancy border to finish it off.

And there you have a cosy blanket for lounging on the sofa, or use as a play mat, or to keep you warm in bed!
