Sweet Dreams Ripple Blanket: Free Crochet Pattern
Hi, I am so glad you decided to stop by for a visit. I hope all is well.
Last weekend Honey Bunny and her Mom went downtown to watch the Christmas Parade.
Once the Christmas parade happens time just flies and before I know it we are last minute wrapping and it's Christmas Eve.
I have a few projects to finish before then and well, this is one down. My Sweet Dreams Ripple Baby Blanket. I love this pattern. It is super easy and I have used it in several projects in the past.
I wanted to get a few pictures of her with her new blanket. Oh boy was that a treat. :)
Every time the camera snapped a picture, she closed her eyes. I must have had four pictures with her eyes closed for every one with her eyes open.
Doesn't she look silly? What a cutie pie!
I had to change the setting on my camera to take several pictures at a time. Finally got a picture of her with her eyes open.
But that wasn't the end of it.
She knows how to pull a hat off now so of course as soon as we put it on her head, she pulled it off. So there I am trying to put the hat on her then moving back into position to snap a picture.
At the same time she keeps trying to get away. She has been crawling for a few weeks now so there's no holding her back from exploring - and trying to grab my camera.

I'm a visual kind of person. If you're like me the photo with the stitch labels will be extremely helpful.
Another picture for good measure.
Okay, I couldn't resist. One more. Hey, I'm a Grandma, what can I say?

"The pattern is super easy and super fast. Once I had a few rows done I was able to ‘watch’ tv and crochet at the same time. The only change I made was to crochet in sets of 8 vs. 4. And I imagine my end result may have been a bit bigger. I did 12 rows red for one row of white. My finished afghan fit the top of our queen bed, so the client (hubby) was quite happy!"

I guess Millie was looking for a pattern. This is what she wrote - "Sooooo many Ripples out there but I ended up choosing thisSweet Dreams Ripple Blanket by Darlene Nemeth. The baby is so adorable I just had to use this pattern!"
