It's been awhile!!
I made this blankie for my new niece, Violet. I actually started it back in February!!!!! I finally got to working on it and finished it. I'm in love with it, can't wait to see it wrapped around Violet!

I used Red Heart baby econo yarn in "Candy Print" and a size H hook. The blanket isn't really that big, about 29" x 24", I wanted more of a blankie than an afghan. The pattern is just a simple shell stitch that I found on about.com, then I did the border with 2 rows of DC and one row of SC.

Violet Pattern
I'm working on some scrapbooking pages and I wanted to add some crocheted flowers as embellishments. I was searching on the internet for a flower pattern for a violet and I couldn't find one that I liked! So I whipped this one up. If you find any errors please let me know! Sorry for the bad quality of the pic, I couldn't find my cord to my camera so I used my cell phone!

I used the following materials, but, you can sub out any that you like.
