My mom crochets a blanket for every new baby in the family. It’s a crazy undertaking given the size of our family, but I’m sure glad every one of my children has a piece of her handiwork for their very own.. The Baby got his for Christmas and it perfectly coordinated with his blessing day outfit.

Beautiful blanket! That’s a pattern I’m thinking of trying for an upcoming baby as well 🙂
I hope I make all my grandchildren blankets too! Though that’s years away still
LOVE it!! Do you happen to know the name of this pattern? I would love to try to make one of these.

I asked my mom and here is what she said:
“The book is called Snuggle-Up Baby Afghans by Carole Rutter Tippett. It is distributed by Leisure Arts, and the name of the pattern is just Double Shell Stitch.”

que belleza el bebe y la manta ! en mi familia pasa lo mismo, mi madre tambien teje una manta a cada nuevo bebé de la familia es una tradición muy bonita, te felicito por el blog es hermoso !
I do the same thing for my nieces and nephews! (I also sell them on the side) This blanket is so beautiful! I love the stitch too! I used it for the afghan I made myself! I love your website! Your creations are awesome! I’m your newest follower! (:
I make a blanket for each new member of our family and try to get them done before the kid goes to school. They go pretty fast once I pick the pattern and yarn, but those 2 are the sticking points.
I always threaten to start a new one as soon as I finish one and I really should have this time.
I really like this pattern though and it doesn’t look too hard.
