Brights and Blue Granny Patch Blankie

This small afghan is 72 granny squares crocheted with a size I hook, from 100% acrylic 4-ply yarn.

Most of the yarn was previously owned by Rachel, with the blue coming from my stash.

I was asked by a friend of her family to crochet another blankie for a grandson due later in the month.  All tests say the little one is a boy, yet much of the yarn has pink as a part of the color combination.  I tried to de-emphasize the pinks, even while using the yarn scraps.
It worked out quite nicely.

And I’ll tell you, the thing is WARM.  It’s a good thing the baby will grow into it for winter, because he won’t need it much before then.
