So so sweeeet! The designer of this Hushabye Baby Blanket made this pattern so versatile. The colors in this blanket lend its creation to either gender. I love the combination of the V-stitch and the Shell stitch....delicate like a newborn. The border around it is definitely something special to behold as well. Since it incorporates all the colors inside it pulls it all together! Thanks KLC for the link for the resizing afghan article on this site...I was just starting to think that direction!!!

This is another beautiful project for a baby girl or boy. Could be a christening or baby shower gift for either a baby boy or a baby girl. It has neutral colors so it is very appropriate.

I love the look of this Beautiful Hushabye Baby Blanket Crochet Pattern. The well written pattern is so easy to follow. I will be making this in the colors in the pattern. Great for a girl or boy, I'm thinking of making it longer for a twin bed. Looking forward to making this one! The pattern looks so nice, using the V-stitch and Shell stitch. Thank you for this free pattern..
