The blanket below is a stunning baby blanket made by talented Vicki of Dover and Madden using the same Sunny Spread pattern.
I love the color scheme, is soothing. I love that it’s not the usual “baby” colors and can work for either gender.

I personally went with a plain single crochet border. I didn’t use the border on the pattern, for me it was a bit too much and too matchy, matchy!! I always make sure that I use a hook at least half a size smaller when crocheting a border to a blanket…..I used a 3mm for this border. By doing this you don’t get that loose wavy border that looks as if you have too many stitches added….When using the 3mm, your border will seem a bit tight on completion, but blocking will completely stretch it out as you can see from the finished blanket.
