In this year of first retirements, I’ve crocheted 4 baby blankets for friends. It’s been a very welcome place of joy in a very strange 9 months. I find that I fall in love with each piece over the course of its making. This week, I’m sharing each of the 7 baby blankets I’ve ever made, here and on Instagram. May it be a place of rest and joy for you, too, in this year we call 2020.
BONUS ROUND: Baby Not-blankets
In between THE CLASSIC AND THE MODERN, there are two other projects that bookend the baby blanket saga. While these weren’t blankets, they were for babies, so I’m including them here as a quick stopover.
Both feature my all-time favorite hat. The Divine Hat by Sarah Arnold is one of those patterns that will make you feel like you really *can* crochet, even as a total beginner. It’s easy, it’s fast, and it looks great!
The little cardigan was my first go at making a real garment and made me feel so accomplished. So much so, I couldn’t wait for it to finish drying after blocking, so it was still damp when I wrapped it up to give (wow).
Okay, we’re in the home stretch now! Stay tuned for the final two blankeys, coming up tomorrow.
