When my friends have babies and grandbabies, they get blankets! I’ve watched Robin’s kids grow up in the neighbourhood, so when her son and his wife had their first baby this year, of course I made a blanket and a hat. The yarn is the same I knit my cousin’s granddaughters blanket set with earlier this year, but in the colour sage. It’s a really lovely yarn to work with, knit or crochet.
I followed the pattern from a video on YouTube, the border turned out so lovely! It’s very elegant as the name suggests.
