Little Lily Nap Blanket






Hello friends! Baby blankets are always fun to work with, for it's a medium size project. It is a blanket, though it is done in a relatively short time, especially when I choose a straight forward pattern, and not granny squares type that needs many phases to finish. 

My new post is a baby blanket, which I crocheted using a multicoloured baby yarn that I found in a popular bazaar in Erbil (which is, by the way, a very beautiful city). It's easy to make, as I wrote the chosen pattern and designed a matching simple edging.

2. *tr 4 in ch 4 space, tr 1 in ch 1 space, tr 4 in tr space, repeat from * to second corner.

3. (tr 2, ch 3, tr 2) in corner st, tr 3 in each ch 5 space to third corner.

4. (tr 2, ch 3, tr 2) in corner st, repeat from * to fourth corner.

5. (tr 2, ch 3, tr 2) in corner st, tr 3 in each ch 5 space to first corner.

6. tr 2, ch 3 in first corner st, ss to fourth ch of first ch 4 or to standing tr.

Round 2: ch 4 in first st, tr in each st to corner ch 3 space, (tr 2, ch 3, tr 2) in ch 3 space, tr in each st to next corner, work the same in next corners and sides, ss to fourth ch of first chain 4.
