This blanket is for a friend's son who was born September 17, 2007. This is my first really big knitting project. I adapted a pattern from Last Minute Knitted gifts, which was entirely garter stitch, to include stockinette and a double moss stitch--one knit for each color. I used Blue Sky Organic Cotton, which I'd highly recommend, although I did get some fuzzes in my nose while I knit. It's very soft and fluffy. Ajknitting wisely suggested the applied I-cord border.
