Made Marian: Oozing Crafty Goodness

If you assumed all baby blankets had to be pink or blue or maybe pale yellow, you were wrong.  I’ve recently finished a sports themed blanket for a friend of a friend.  It was done in the colours of this team, but I did joke that if my commission fell through I’d surely be able to find someone from Tipperary in the market for a baby blanket.

This pattern was “inspired by” a pattern in my Bible.   I changed the size though to make the blanket a square, it’s basically just two rows of navy double crochets and two rows of yellow DC all the way up.  Then I did a row of single crochets down the two sides to give it a better finish.  The navy looks very dark in some lighting, so dark that I could probably pawn it off on someone from Kilkenny should the need arise.  But I looked again at the teams colours and their navy is quite dark too, so it should be ok.
