Evolution of a Baby Blanket

My friend Traci is having a baby girl! She is due in 13 weeks!
This weekend was her Baby Shower. My giving love language is gift giving. (I've never actually taken the quiz, but I know it's true.)
I try and put a lot of thought into giving gifts and I often make gifts for people. I love when people put thought into gifts for me as well!
I decided that I wanted to crochet a baby blanket for Traci. I found a pattern that I really liked online and went for it. I actually have never followed a pattern before, seriously. It's like my brain just can't figure it out. There are so many abbreviated crocheting terms and I don't know what any of them mean. Luckily this pattern was a straight line (which I am GREAT at!).
I used Bernat Baby yarn in pink sparkle. I used two strands at once so it would be softer.



Making progress!
The blanket is finished! The original pattern I found used special ruffle yarn. A quick google search of how to make ruffles and a mini lesson from Rebekah on how to Triple Crochet and I was in business!
Allll finished!!
