The pastel colors in the springtime afghan are lovely. It would make a good blanket for a baby shower and could be used for either a boy or a girl. Looks like all the stitching and sewing is just basic crochet 101 stuff. If you know the sex of the baby you could always leave out the opposite color and add yellow.

I love designs such as these. It is easy and makes up quickly and allows you to take full use of your imagination. For instances, this is a Spring color pattern. But y replacing these colors with shades of brown, gold and orange, you have a Fall afghan. Try red, white and green and Winter comes to life. Thank you for sharing this wonderful pattern.
