I was very busy adding items to the March 2012 batch for my friend’s delivery to our local hospice. I contributed six lap blankets and nine preemie blankets. Other volunteers make baby hats, so I used coordinating yarn to make blankets to pair with them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This first lap blanket is from some donated Jeanne\u00a0salmon colored cotton yarn and some ecru cotton I had on hand. The pattern is Diamond Ripple by Anne Halliday in Leisure Arts #108214, Afghans for All Seasons, Book 2.<\/p>\n

The second lap blanket is from Baby Bee Pitter Pattern yarn.\u00a0I had started a baby blanket for my son, who is now nearly four, so he doesn’t need it. I finished it as\u00a0a lap blanket. It is the standard feather and fan stitch.<\/p>\n

The third lap blanket\u00a0is\u00a0yet another one of Lyn\u2019s Round Ripple Blankets<\/a>. It is just such a fun and easy pattern.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These three lap blankets are from my own patterns: Lacy V-stitch Ripple Afghan<\/a>, Jacob’s Ladder Ripple Afghan<\/a> and Shell and V-stitch Ripple Afghan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These are three little square preemie blankets made from donated\u00a0King Tut cotton. The first two are patterns I have posted: Tiffany Lace Baby Blanket<\/a> and Fan Lace Baby Blanket<\/a>. The third is an original design in Tunisian crochet. I haven’t gotten brave enough to write up the pattern and post it. I have never written down a Tunisian crochet pattern.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These\u00a0three preemie blankets (also in the cotton King Tut)\u00a0are crochet, original designs I have posted: Ribbed Ripple Reversible Afghan<\/a>, Ribbons and Lace Afghan<\/a> and Eyelet Ripple Afghan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These three preemie blankets (also in the cotton King Tut) are knit, original designs I have posted: Simple Lines Baby Blankets<\/a> and Wrapped Stitches Baby Blanket<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
