Baby gift

Emily's dance teacher is having a baby boy at the end of February, so I started working on a blanket/hat/mitten set to give her as a gift. We only see her on Fridays, so I wanted to make sure I had it done in PLENTY of time so we could for sure give it all to her before the baby was born. I think we'll probably give it to her this Friday, just to be safe (safe that nothing happens to it in my house between now and the end of February, and safe that she for sure gets it before the baby comes...).

Here's the blanket. It's approx. 35X35 inches


Close-up of the pattern:


Here's the hat. I attempted to work the same pattern around the middle as the blanket so they were coordinated. It looks kind of messy, but once it's on, everything looks straight and even


here's the little mittens:


I use Em's "Boy Baby" as the model. His head's a little bigger than a newborn, so that hat may end up being a little tall, but I figure better tall than short (tall, you can cuff up)




I have to add, the yarn is sooooooo soft, too, and totally washable!
