So I am confused in the comments...is the pattern directions for row 6 correct or not?

This blanket is so stunning. The lacy fabric makes it nice and light and perfect for a baby shower gift. Though really you could switch the color, just keep crocheting, and I could see this being a fantastic throw for my couch.

WARNING- NEVER weave a length of ribbon around the edge of a baby blanket unless you then sew it down every 2 inches!!! The baby can become entangled in a pulled ribbon, making it a strangulation hazard. We almost lot our first daughter to just such a blanket ribbon, had I not decided to check on her "just one more time" before we went to bed ourselves. Sure enough, the ribbon was tangled and twisted around her neck! Thank God for guardian angels.

I consider myself an advanced crocheter, BUT I am not a designer and I am NOT a mind reader. I want to love this blanket but after crocheting and yanking out and crocheting some more I'm done with this one. I don't think the pattern is difficult, just poorly written.

I've pinned this blanket. Thanks for having the pattern right in front.Easier for crocheters.

I've made this blanket twice and had the same error problem reported by dinasthomas, but figured it out. Both blankets were given to new mothers of baby girls and repeatedly I am stopped to thank me again, because their little one's LOVED their blanket. I ALWAYS make a lacy blanket for babies. They are fascinated by the texture and it's very soothing for them.

Thanks for the inspiration. I will make this blanket after this current project I have.

I can't wait to make this for my friend's baby shower!

this is NOT a good pattern for a baby blanket-too many holes for fingers and toes!

I loved this so much that I'm making it for myself using regular Bernat as a lap blanket as well as a baby blanket with Bernat Baby HOWEVER there is an error in the pattern which I found after ripping out row several times th row Ch counts as tr dc in next ch- sp dc in next CL Ch Miss next dc dc in next CL dc in next ch- sp dc in next CL twice Ch Miss next dc times dc in last CL dc in next ch- sp Miss next tr tr in top of turning ch Turn The line SHOULD read as follows th row Ch counts as tr dc in next ch- sp dc in next CL Ch Miss next dc dc in next CL dc in next ch- sp dc in next CL twice Ch Miss next dc times dc in last CL dc inRead More next ch- sp Miss next tr tr in top of turning ch Turn the beginning bracket of the repeat stitches is in the wrong place
