Baby granny blanket
Hello sweeties!
How’s everything? Hope all is great for you! I am now in my 24th week of pregnancy and I’m feeling good so far…the baby is kicking me a lot and I must confess that this is one of the best things I just love about being pregnant 🙂
Last week, I started a new blanket for him! This is his second one. The first was the joyful ripple if you still remember!
Well, this second blanket will be a granny one for the coldest days of winter as I’m crocheting it with the Nako Vizon yarn and a 4.5mm crochet hook…Wanna see some pics?
First I chose some colors…9 bright and lovely colors for the first two rounds of each granny…
and two colors for round3 and 4 of each square…A lovely light blue with a beautiful brown …
and then I started some grannies just to try out the result of this combination-idea I had on my mind for weeks 😉
and I made 9 colorful 2 rounds-squares … and then I crocheted the third round in light blue…
then I added a 4th round in brown…
I’m joining the squares with this 4th round using the join-as-I-go method…
I just love how this turned out 🙂 what do you think?
I love these blue and brown colors surrounding the others 🙂
There is something about granny squares that make me want to crochet all day long …I just can’t resist them 🙂
I’m using the very classic pattern for these squares. You can find it here!
So, sweeties, I hope you like the beginning of my new wip!
Thank you so much for visiting today and thanks to all of you who voted for Le monde de Sucrette on the 2012 Blue ribbon Blogger awards of Country Living….Even thought I can not win and I just discovered this due to the lovely Denise who left for me a comment saying that this competition was for the residents of the U.S only 🙁 I feel a little dissapointed and a little sad because I let you vote for a comptetion I could not win…so sorry my friend 🙁 I did not knew 🙁
Concerning the baby set pattern: I did not finish it yet…sorry again…cause this weekend I could not find time for it … I promise that it will be ready at the end of this week 🙂
Have a lovely day wherever you are…I’m sending a lot of hugs and kisses your way!

I think your choice of colours for your little man’s blanket is wonderful. It has given me an idea of how to go about picking colours if I ever want to make one of these bright and cheery blankets. I would never have thought of doing the third and fourth rounds all the same but it really brings it all together so well. Good to hear all is going well with your pregnancy – he’ll be here before you know it. xoxox
Tu as choisi de trés jolies couleurs gaies pour cette 2è couverture pour le Petit Prince,et le marron met bien en valeur les autres couleurs,bravo! c’est dommage que les votes ne concernent que les américaines,tu méritais de gagner…je comprends ta déception!bon lundi et bonne semaine jolie Sucrette,gros bisous de France où le temps est triste,gris,pluvieux,frais…
Joli début pour ta petite couverture !
Beautiful granny blanket wip there Angie. LOve the colours 😀
So disappointing to hear you’re not eligible for the Blue Ribbon award 🙁 but you would have won I’m sure 😀
Really happy to hear all is well with your pregnancy 😀 Have a fabulous week Angie 😀 x
Angie, the color combo is beautiful. It is going to be gorgeous when it’s done. What type of edging are you making on it?. So happy the wee one is doing great. Take care and have a great week.

I Love the blanket you are making for your son.
You are the best! I will vote for you to receive every and any award!

i wouldn’t choose the brown myself for the border, if i were to choose colors for a new blanket…. but i LOVE it! 🙂 it works really well. 🙂
Hi Angie, I am in my 17th week pregnancy and I was wondering where I could find your colorful lovely blankets for my baby girl!
I live in Dubai but coming soon to Lebanon…

The blankie looks wonderful! Using the same colours on rounds 3 and 4 is inspired! 🙂

Which yarn did you use for this blanket?
I loved the kicking during my pregnancy too, still miss it sometimes.

J’aime beaucoup le marron entourant tes couleurs vives, ça donne un côté “masculin” !
J’admire ta production ! moi, je n’ai toujours pas fini ma blanket !

Hello from the USA. I really enjoy reading your blog. I, too love the brown and pale yellow together and as edging for each square. What a lovely choice. It not only gives unity to the piece, but also gives a great frame for the bright colors.
I am so happy to hear that your baby and you are doing so well. God bless your family.
So sorry you weren’t able to be included in that award, but there will be some that you can be entered and you will surely win!
Thanks for sharing your talent, style and color with us all. You brighten my nights as I read.
thanks…I’m was having a hard time choosing a design for a baby blanket.. this is just what I was looking for..
I love the brown backround, brings a new freshness to the granny.
lovely!!!
Your little guy is going to have the most beautiful blankets around! 🙂
Beautiful, Angie! Becky
Ohw, I so know what you mean! The feeling of the baby moving in your belly… Love it!!! (except when he or she is kicking a bit to hard or in the wrong place…) And the blanket?? It looks great!
Ton plaid promets d’être merveilleux. Les couleurs sont éclatantes comme toujours 😉 Merci pour tout ces models. Douce journée a toi aussi

Hello, what a great blanket for a boy, would never have thought of the last 2 rows being the same color also. it really does pull it together. Glad all is going good.
Hi Angie, I love your new wip. It looks a little like mine, although I love your colours better than mine. Keep up the great work x

Just lovely!! You always choose such great colors!
I have made many a granny square and yet have not made one blanket from them yet. That will have to be a summer project for sure. Just a few more days of school and then my holiday will begin. Glad to hear you are doing well. Your new blanket is very pretty. I’m always uncertain about color combinations. Have a great week. Tammy
Hi thanks for the post it has motivated me to pick up my old wip 🙂
Hermoso como siempre!!!!! Me encanta saber que el bebe patea!!!!! Los colores me encantaron y gracias por compartir. Besitos.
Hi Angie! I like how the squares turns out with the brown(or chocolate?) color! Great!
I’m happy with you when your baby is kicking you! That feeling is amazing!
Hug you, Angie…
kisses
Olga
I luv how you are crocheting it together w/the brown. Looks great
Loved being pregnant as well!!!
I am learning much about color joining from you! Not at all like painting…..
This new granny is so JOYFUL!!!!
You know, I wouldn’t have chosen brown for a baby blanket but it’s perfect. Makes it more manly.
Hello Angie! Please visit my blog, I have nominated you for the Sunshine Award!
I love that brown and blue together!
Hugs! Barbina
Hi Angie… ooooo lovely little granny squares… and I do love the brown combinations.. very unusual but very pretty! I LOVED that stage of pregnancy… and spent hours waiting for little kicks.. enjoy every minute…it goes so fast! Hugs, Jill x
Very pretty. Good luck with your pregnancy 🙂
baby Boy will be SO cozy all snuggled up in his toasty granny blanket… That outer shade of light brown/toast/cocoa, is a lovely colour choice !!

I love your blanket! I’ve never seen one combined with the cocoa color, but I really like it!!
