Baby Blanket
My best friend was about to become mum and I wanted to make the most beautiful blanket in the world for her and her baby!
So, this is what I came with and seems that both of them love it :)

Step 1
First I crocheted 20 pink hearts.
Here is a link with 25+ free & easy crochet heart patterns:

Step 2
Then I chose a different yarn color (withe) and crocheted around each heart, trying to make a granny squares.
Step 3
I decided to change colors (light green) on the second row and definitely it started looking more like granny squares.
Step 4
I crocheted a third row with a darker color and the last row (the fourth) before joining all the granny squares in yellow.

And that's it! It took me forever to finish this blanket but I enjoy it very much doing it :)
I hope to inspire many of you to do something special for someone special.

I love the hearts in the centre!
1 tip: If you'd done the white in the back loop of the pink hearts, they would have popped out even more. ;)
Really do love it! What a work that must have been!

Yes! that's true! I didn't think about that detail.
Thank you for the tip!
