It‘s a boy!
March & April seem to be raining babies (actually more like pouring), it’s hard to keep up with each bundle of joy. Today is a close friend‘s baby shower and I wanted to share what I’ve been working on for her lil’ baby boy… baby blankets of course!
Baby Boy Blanket Trio
This trio of blankets complement one another, while each being unique. One cream blanket has a dark country blue border, one light blue wrap is made with a dark country blue trim and there’s another cream blankie, this time with country blue edging. Each blanket is made of fleece with a crocheted yarn border. To create these cute snuggle wraps, I used a skip-stitch blade on my rotary and ran it along all four edges of a fleece rectangle. For the first round, I used the new slits to single crochet around the edge of the blanket, four stitch in each corner hole. The second round, I used a half-double crochet.
Fleece Baby Blankets with Crocheted Trim
Depending on the width, one yard of fleece can cut in half to make two blankets.
Congratulations Brandi & Josh! Welcome baby Brick!
The second half of March, posts have been few and far between. Thanks for being patient and supportive everyone! I tried to start my Spring cleaning this week and catch up on all the baby crafting I need to be doing in these baby bonanza months…

Always nice welcoming babies. My cousins just had a girl yesterday. Thinking, now I can do something . . . maybe a blanet.

Hey there!
I just stumbled across your blog while looking for fleece blankets so I can make some for my Godchild…I love your work, it is really pretty. Can I please ask where do you get your fleece from? It looks really good and I am struggling to find anyone that sells any good quality ones that are nice smooth and snuggly 😦
I actually bought a few yards of fleece from Wal-Mart a few years back, but they have changed their supplier. I too have recently been struggling to find better quality fleece. 🙂 Good luck! I’ll let you know when I find a supplier again.
