A blog to show off my books, crocheting and knitting projects, and for whatever else I feel like writing about.

Rainbow Blocks
I've finally finished "Rainbow Blocks." It's from Leisure Arts Leaflet #3229, "Over the Rainbow Baby Afghans." I simply adore the design! I used Caron Soft again, in colors Off-white, Lt. Country Peach, Soft Green, Soft Blue, Soft Pink, and Orchid.

This pattern is so awesome!! Very cute!! Nice color choices too!
About your concern (little one getting tangled) -- hmm, I always have that concern with looser/open patterns but I haven't heard any complaints yet. ?? I would think that as long as baby can't get their head through the hole to choke themselves somehow, then you are probably safe. Might have a couple tangled toes and fingers, but that's not life threatening. ya know? It's a beautiful piece!!! :)
Completing the edging did not actually solve the "loops" problem. I tried stitching the sides down, and making knots in the connecting seams, and even using clear line, but all of the solutions ruined the look of the blanket. I ended up leaving it as is. I think it will be better used as a floor blanket, for the baby to lay on, or a carriage cover, rather than a blanket to wrap the baby in.

After you completed the edging did that make it less "pull out"-able?
Fantastic job! I love it when crochet stitches make something very unique!
