What started out as an idea for a preemie blanket, turned into an 18″ doll blanket when I didn’t begin with a long enough chain.  I hate frogging projects, so I went with it.  When I had done a few rows I realized it would make a good doll blanket…..my girls didn’t complain. But they did wish there was more than one ;)

I used a basic seed stitch, but made it ripple.  It would make for a good beginner pattern, but if you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask.
