After mastering the C2C technique by making my Christmas Character Blankets, I was very pleased to find the C2C JAYG tutorial on The Patchwork Hearts Blog.

You can find the very detailed tutorial here. Thank-You Heather x

I am enjoying this new technique, although it is a little tricky to start with, but I am sure I will get the hang of it soon.

Making this blue blanket for one of the babies soon to be born.

I thought I had better make a boy blanket as I have 3 girls blankets already made.

UPDATE: Yes sure enough the first baby to be born is a boy, Theodore Sydney Hobbs: 16 August 2018. He is a little one weighing in at only 5lbs 1 oz, bless him.

As he is going to be called Teddy, I just had to add some little blue teddies to the corners of the blanket before I sent it off.

Border:

Rd 1. (For corners 1 sc, ch 2, 1sc in corner st.) (Ch 2, 1sc in next space) repeat all around.

Rd 2. (For corners 1 sc, ch 2, 1sc in corner ch 2), 2sc in each ch 2 space all around.

Rd 3. (For corners, 1 sc, ch2 1sc in corner ch 2), 1 sc in every st. all around.

Rd 4 and subsequent rds. Repeat Rd 3.

Rd 5 with white repeat rd 3.

Rd 6 Turn 1dc in first st, 1ss in next all around.
