I finished crocheting the shell baby afghan and decided I needed to dust off my knitting needles before I forgot how to knit!
- Pattern – Sunny Baby Blanket – free knit pattern found on Ravelry
- Needle size – US 8
- Yarn – Sprightly Cotton worsted from BluPrint, colorway Lilac

It’s been years since I knit this one for Rae … I finished it in September 2012, just a month before she was born. That little blanket showed up in a lot of photos!

And still looked great years later when she let Mo borrow it! It was knit with Caron Simply Soft and I’ve been impressed with how well that yarn has held up.
Hi Mary! Aww, adorable photos and lovely blanket. It’s amazing how you can see the older Rae in her baby pictures. She’s a good big sissy, sharing with baby Mo. ~smile~ Roseanne

Fun to see all the baby photos of Rae with the blanket. Simply Soft is my favorite yarn for baby items.

Well the blanket is certainly well loved. I’ve used that yarn in several gifted blankets so it’s good to know how well it wears and with no napping up either. Such great pictures.
