Last year, I read a book called The Berlin Letters by Katherine Reay. It was a lovely historical fiction novel set amidst the fall of the Berlin wall. I know. I know...right now you're thinking, but what does this have to do with yarn? Well, inspiration comes from many places, and on the cover of this book was a beautiful knit cowl with lovely drape that I knew I had to have. The problem...I don't knit. So, I set out to mimic it with crochet stitches instead.

If there's one thing I love making more than any other project, it's a baby blanket. For this blanket, I wanted something classic and timeless, but not boring. I pulled some inspo from the Harbor Beanie and came up with the idea for this blanket. I love how it all came together!

Did you know that more babies are born in the summer months than any other time of year? Do you know someone who is expecting? If so, I've got the perfect project for you!
