I love the color of this baby blanket. It reminds me of mint chocolate chip ice cream! Any baby would be lucky to receive such a beautiful design.

This Marine Mint Baby Blanket looks very neat as it uses just one color of this popular pastel hue. This mint pastel reminds me of the sea -its energy, serenity and mystery, and the peppermint tree which is cure for many illnesses. Thanks for this free pattern which is very easy to follow.

Wonderful looking blanket, but it WOULD BE SO HELPFUL to have a very close photo of stitches to help follow the pattern. Many of us are VISUAL. Thanks.
