Handmade gifts - Baby Blankets

I have learned a fantastic secret about crocheting baby blankets... they don't actually take that long to make.  They obviously involve a bit of time and effort, but over all, they crochet up quite quickly.

I have made two in the last couple of months - but they didn't take that long to make!  If I had only made each one during the evenings, I probably could have finished them in two or three weeks each.

Baby blanket #1

8ply, 4mm crochet hook, x25 granny squares of x7 rounds each.

Baby blanket #2

8ply, 4mm crochet hook, x9 granny squares of 12 rounds each.  Both made with a random edging technique I made up as I went.
