Baby Gift Set

A friend of mine recently had her second baby boy.  I wanted to make her a special blanket for the little man.  Thankfully, I had it made just in time for her little man to be born.

I couldn't just send off the blanket.  I had to make a cute little owl hat to match his blanket.  The new little man was born early September so he won't use his hat right away.  I made his hat 3-6 months old so that he can enjoy it this winter.

I made both the hat and the blanket from my favorite yarn, I Love this Yarn from Hobby Lobby in Country Blue.  The blanket is the same one that I made for her older son that you can see here.  The pattern for the blanket comes from a great book of crochet and knit blankets called Undercover:  60 Afghans to knit and crochet.  

The owl hat pattern can be found from Inner Hooker designs here.

I love making this blanket as it works up so nicely and it is thick enough to keep a baby warm all winter.  I made one for my niece as well that I will be sharing with you soon.

Happy Crocheting!
