:I've been asked for the pattern for the blanket I made for Daisy. I've never written out a pattern before, so if you try this out, please let me know how it turns out for you.
Size H crochet hook
approximately 10 oz of sport weight yarn (I used about 1 1/3 skeins of "Neopolitan" yarn)
approximately 5 yards of a soft fabric (not paper) ribbon (this will depend on the size you choose to make your blanket - I made a somewhat small one, as it was meant to go into Daisy's casket, but still was too big)
Sewing thread to match ribbon
Using a sport weight yarn, loosely chain 94 sts
Row 1: in 3rd ch from hook, dc 2 times (the 2 chs count as first dc), skip one ch, sc in next ch, *skip one ch, work 3 dc in next ch, skip one ch, sc in next ch*, repeat from * to end, ch 2 turn
Row 2: in last row's last sc, work 1 dc (ch 2 counts as first dc), in middle dc of 3 dc shell, work 1 sc,*work 3 dc shell in next sc, in middle dc of 3 dc shell, work 1 sc*, repeat from * to end, ending with 1 sc, ch 2, turn
Repeat row 2 until blanket is desired length. After last stitch of last row, begin to work border.
Border
Row 2: ch 4 (counts as 1 triple crochet and ch 1 sp), *skip ch 1 sp, work triple crochet in next sc* around blanket - corners should have 3 ch sp between tc, slip stitch to top of first tc
Row 3: ch 3, work 4 triple crochet (makes large shell) in same stitch. *skip ch 1 space, work sc in next sc, skip ch 1 sp work 5 triple crochet shell in next sc* continue in this pattern around blanket. Fasten off.
Weave ribbon through "lacing holes" made by row 2, tie into a bow and stitch bow in place with matching thread
Complete!
Blessings to you,

I wish I could crochet. My mom can and my daughter is really good, but I just can't seem to get the hang of it. Anyway, I've given you a blogging award on my blog.
