My husband's friend just had a baby girl and I whipped this up for that sweet, new bundle of joy. I love the texture of the middle portion and the lines of the border that you get by working in the back loops only.
Even though I have this pictured in pink for a baby girl, it would be great for a baby boy too. I'm planning on making one in gray and one in navy for baby boys that are due to arrive soon.
This would even be great in a bigger size for as a throw.
