I designed this blanket for Arianna, when she was born.  It’s a very easy blanket with repetitive stitch.  Originally I was not planning on writing up a pattern for it, but I’ve been asked a few times to make it available. So here you go!  A special thank you to Christine for nagging me long enough ;)!
