Back when all of my friends were having babies, which was, ahem, quite awhile ago, I was cranking out crochet baby blankets like crazy.
My favorite one to make and the one a lot of my friends have are this ABC bobble blanket. It is so much fun to make and was one of those patterns I never tired of.
