The Rebekah Baby Blanket is Here and So Enjoyable to Make

     

I am really liking this new baby blanket design.  I’ve called it the Rebekah Baby Blanket.  It turns out to be a very pretty blanket and it is very easy to make.  It works up extremely quickly and makes a really nice gift….baby shower or Christmas.   I used an “H” hook and I chose a new yarn to me called Bernat “Bundle Up”.  The color pictured is called “Marshmallow”.  yarn was very easy to work with and is extremely soft.  It is made of 100% polyester.  And, of course, it is machine washable and dryable.   I hope you like it.  I am including the Free pattern here.  The ad-free .pdf pattern is also available in both my Ravelry Store and Etsy Shop. So here is this lovely pattern that is appropriate for both baby girls and baby boys.  I can really picture it as a beautiful addition for the baby’s baptism.
