Blue Corner 2 Corner Baby Blanket

The start of a blanket for a baby boy...

Earlier in the year (May 2015), I had an order for a baby blanket for a little boy – that he could grow into. They didn’t want “traditional” colors, but they wanted something masculine and large enough to eventually cover a toddler bed. They also wanted something more solid and not too lacy. I thought on it for a couple of days, and ended up using a dark and light blue, a tan, and a few mixed skeins of mottled browns in a corner to corner pattern. The end result was 2/3 the length of a single bed and I think turned out quite masculine – but not overly baby. What do you think?

The Tiger store in Blanchardstown had a gorgeous set of origami papers on sale – 50 sheets for 2 euros. I couldn’t resist. These are my results:

Not bad, and now to go do Random Acts of Kindness and pop them on a few cars with a note to “pass it on”. 🙂
