Wow. This Precious Pearls Lace Baby Blanket is so elegantly beautiful. It is so immaculately clean, a symbol of purity. The stitch used is appropriate for baby boy or baby girl. I can't wait to make this baby blanket which will make for a special christening or shower gift. Can't wait to do this.

Is this not the most beautiful blanket that every little one should have? Ok, so it is probably not going to keep them warm in winter but, boy, is it not GORGEOUS? In my circle of family and friends in the past 2 months little Billy, Sophie and Toby have each entered this world and I am going to make each one of them one of these Precious Pearls Lace blankets just because I love it, lol!
