Baby Kid Blanket

So another of my secret time wasters/hobbies is crocheting. I know... it sounds grandmotherish and domestic...don't let the secret out. :-) Since I've made a few baby blankets in the past, I thought I should make one for my own kid, who's on the way. I started with a basic "seed stitch" pattern...although I'm not sure I'd actually call it seed stitch, since it's crochet and not knitting. But then I got bored, and decided to switch it up. I had planned out the color scheme ahead of time, but I added some texture stitches as I went. Because of this, the dimensions of the blanket are different than I had planned. I'm including the pattern and a picture for my sake...so I remember what I did (and so I remember what not to do in the future). The final dimensions of the blanket are 27" by 36".
