I have been making lots of afghan squares lately, but I’m switching gears and going back to baby items while I make this blanket for Heart Felt Angels. This is the Yahoo Crochetlist’s September charity selection, and I decided to be a little ambitious. They are asking for preemie hats and blankets, and I’m guessing since hats are so easy to do, there will be lots of them and not so many blankets.

I’m using a size K hook and TLC Baby Amore yarn in a variegated pattern called “Baby,” which includes all the typical baby colors: pink, blue, green, yellow, and white. I have four skeins which are 4 oz each, so hopefully that’s enough. It’s going to be about 18×18 when I’m done.  I’m just doing a simple double crochet stitch for most of it, and then I hope to trim it in a solid color, maybe soft green, to finish it off.

It’s nothing fancy, but projects like this are perfect when I want to crochet at night in front of the TV and don’t want to have to constantly refer to a pattern, which means using my brain!
