This is a lovely afghan/baby blanket in a very nice size. I love the color combination for a boy or a girl, though it could be made more masculine with primary colors. Just pick up solids to match the variegated yarn. Its also a good Summer project since you can crochet the squares on the go and assemble the blanket when the weather turns cooler.

Finally! A close up picture of what the afghan pattern looks like. Wish they were all like this.
