A Crocheted Baby Blanket for my Great Niece

Today, I am sharing a crocheted baby blanket I made for my new great niece

who arrived last week. Luckily my niece knew she was expecting a baby girl,
so I had plenty of time to make it before she arrived.
,
I had seen lots of blankets made using the ‘Waffle’ stitch when looking 

online for ideas. I really liked the pattern this stitch created, so I decided to give 

it a try following the Bella Crochet tutorial on YouTube.

It crocheted up fairly quickly and is definitely a good stitch to do 

whilst watching the television.

I finished the blanket by adding a border of treble crochet stitches in white,

 and a row of double crochet in pink. I then wrapped it with a pretty 

crocheted blanket tie. 

I purchased the yarn online from Wool Box who have great prices on
their yarns and provide a very fast delivery service.

I used five 100g balls of Sirdar Hayfield Baby Bonus DK, three in
 'Baby Pink' and two in 'Baby White'
