This is my go to afgan pattern for baby girls. I will do it in fun colors or I will do it in white for baby blessings, it is actually the pattern I used for Trena's baby blessing. I used a different pattern for Ava's so that they would be different and I kind of regret it now because I love this pattern so much. Anyways when I do it for blessings I usually put white or a soft pink ribbon down the sides, but decided to use teal instead because this sweet babies room is done in teal and red and I absolutely LOVE how it turned out. Having probably made twenty of these over time, I really think this one is my favorite.
My mother in law asked me how long it takes me to make one of these blankets and I really don't have any idea. I timed it once and depending on the row (because of the pattern) it can take between 5-15 minutes per row and there are 102 rows, plus 5 rows of border and they each take about an hour or so. You can easily put 10 hours into one, but they turn out so beautiful that it is worth every minute.
