I do too! Wish I hadn’t shown my mum now. I’ve just found a pic of it in a light solid colour so I might just do this without the ribbon to tone it down. It’s so difficult to choose when it’s for someone else.

Both are beautiful, what a wonderful gift to give a new Mum 🙏💖

I think I'm edging towards the plain one, only because I think the plain will go with any baby colours.

I've just tried to look to see if both patterns are the same?

Thank you. First pic I come across on fb with a link to an Etsy page, the second is from that Etsy page.

I think the plain one has the edge - it would be lovely in all blue as well.

My Mum made our son a similar blanket when I had him, still have it - it's thicker than this pattern, not as fine. It's cherished although doesn't see the light of day.

This is a gift that is passed on - an heirloom piece. Just lovely 💖🙏 x

I need to make a crochet blanket for a baby boy and found a pattern that I like but after showing my mum what I plan to make she said it’s a bit OTT 😞
So, I’d like some opinions please, is my mum right and I should just do something a bit more plain? Any recommendations on a pattern would also be appreciated.View attachment 4057494
I love this although I prefer it in all one colour.
It will make a beautiful gift.
My go to for a baby blanket is the Call the Midwife pattern. Its so pretty and works up quickly.

I've been working on a crochet tote bag for the last 2 weeks and I've finally finished. I'm so proud of it as its the first time I've followed a proper pattern and actually finished it🤣 i even made a lining with my very limited sewing skills, though had my mum help a bit with the sewing machine as I'm useless🤣

It is really gorgeous, I am envious! I have attempted to crochet/knit but I am useless.
I have struggled to master crocheting for years and hardly managed more than a wonky granny square, but it suddenly just clicked. This pattern was surprisingly simple in terms of the stitch involved but an absolute bugger to put together as it is made as one piece.
