Courtesy Pattern : CP04 - The Janelle Blanket

As every hooker learns, once someone discovers your creative skills; you are going to get requests for gifts to give. Friends, family members even coworkers will ask you for a handmade blanket or cap to give to a new mom, a sick friend or as a "heirloom gift" to treasure.


It's always good to have a memory file of quick and easy crochet stitches that make for beautiful (not to mention quick) projects that can be completed in a weekend or so.

This was the case with The Janelle Blanket that my daughter asked me to make for a school administrator's new baby.


What's a Mom to do?  (hint - you can't say no...)
You take the gifting needs as an opportunity to teach your child an easy stitch that makes for an easy, but memorable and thoughtful gift!




The Janelle Baby Blanket is full of texture and beauty.  Choose your own color scheme or use the one here to create a gift sure to be cherished.

Finish off. Secure and weave in any tail remaining to hide.






Finishing.  You can add any simple border of your choice.  I used single crochet, placing 3 single crochet stitches in each corner to keep the "corners" sharp. 

You can add to width, by adding 3 chains to your starting count and increasing your repeat by 1 for each multiple of 3 added.  
You can add to length, by repeating ROW 2, until your desired length.
