Jase's Baby Blanket

I finally finished the baby blanket for my newborn nephew, Jase.  The last of the ends were woven in late at night on December 26th, and my sister gave birth to sweet little Jase December 27th.

Here are some of the photos with the knitted blanket:

Isn't he so precious?

I used the pattern 'Child's Knitted Blanket #690' which can be found either on Ravelry.com, or on the Lion Brand website.  The yarn is a soft wool blend from the Martha Stewart collection, and is the color Green Eucalyptus.  It is my favorite blanket pattern thus far.  Though time consuming, the finished piece is well worth the effort.

As a side note, I have a wool allergy, but this yarn did not bother me.  It can be washed and dried on the hottest settings, and, like some superwash merino wool blends, seems to have most of the protein washed out of it, thus reducing the risk of a reaction for wool-allergen sufferers.

No cable needle is required.  The simple lace pattern gives an illusion of cables.
