Pretty In Pink Blanket
+
Tutorial
So remember how 3 of my sister-in-laws had baby girls this year?....
Here is the last of the blankets that I made.
(want to see the first 2?)
For this last blanket,
I used the pattern I made from this black white and red blanket,
I think it turned out pretty cute and girly.
Perfect for a little girl.
Out of the three,
this one was by far the easiest to make.
Soooo
I put together an easy tutorial so you can make your own.

Joining Flowers To Squares
There really isn't a set way to do this.
I think I did it differently with each blanket.
I did use the tails from both the flower, and square, and using a large crochet needle,
sewed them both to each other,
making sure to sew the whole tail through and attach them tightly so they wouldn't fall off.
Joining Squares
There are a bunch of different ways you can join your granny squares.
You can decide how you want to do it.
I used the continuous join method.
There is a pretty good you tube tutorial on it here.
The dimensions will be 6 sq x 8 sq
Edging
Using pink, start in any corner sp. dc 5 times. skip over the next 2 dc. sc 1 time. skip over the next 2 dc. dc 5 times*. repeat from * around.

This Pattern will make a small sized baby blanket.
If you wanted to make a bigger one,
Make lots more squares, and add 1-2 extra rows on the square and the flower.
The size of the blanket, flower, and squares is up to you.
Good Luck!
