Blue Waves Baby Blanket
I came up with this quick and easy blanket because I have had this yummy yarn in my stash for a while just waiting for the right project to show off the ombre effect. Â Well, turned out I was in need of a baby boy blanket, so off work I went. Â My finished blanket is about 32″ x 34″. This is the Blue Waves Baby Blanket.
