I wanted to surprise a close friend of mine with a pretty baby blanket for her newborn son. Browsing through patterns available, I couldn’t find anything that caught my eye, so I put this one together. It is everything you want for a little one. Classic and traditional, elegant and pretty, intricate yet simple.
