Bright Crochet Baby Blanket

I love to use up my bits and pieces of yarn by making granny squares of all different colours.  Its an easy job to do while watching TV.


I realised that I had enough for a little baby blanket, but took ages to decide what colour to use to join them all together.
 
I finally settled on this bright turquoise colour, although I think it looks more like blue in these photographs.

 
 


So it is  just some random crochet granny squares joined together.  I'm very pleased with how it has turned out.  What do you think - is it too bright?


Love, Liz

Hi Liz, I think it is lovely, not too bright. Your email to me a while ago inspired me to make a bright granny square blanket, which I am now doing. I was initially scared of using the bolder/brighter colours but actually quite like the results. Thank you. x

Babies love bright colors. All that pastel stuff can be a bore. I know this because I was a baby a long time ago and I remember!

Oh no! You can never have a baby blanket that's too bright. Baby's love lots of colour and I love what you've done with this too.

It really makes me yearn to crochet properly. I have a basket full of yarns and your blankets are always so cosy and lovely xx
