A baby blanket....

with lacey square border.... (learning left hand crochet)



Here is my completed baby blanket for my friend's grand daughter.. It measures 40 inches x 38 inches. The stitch is half double crochet using 2.5 hook. All the thrift-ed yarn cost me about $7.



I did ran out of the variegated yarn, and had to use something a bit different for the edging. I hope it does not ruin the overall look.




I also made these hair clips for her older sister who is going to pre-school. I hope she will be happy to have these.  I am quite content with my achievement and, all is ready to be sent to all the way to France.






A small  crochted tie for a gift box/wrap.














Thank you for taking your time stop by,

  5. This is a beautiful blanket Gaia! I really like the way the lace border turned out, such a pretty detail. The edging couldn't be a better match for the variegated yarn, and ties it in nicely. Love the little flower hair clips ... perfect colours for a young girl starting school. I think the mother is going to be thrilled with these special gifts! Hope you have a great week! Wendy x
