Here it is, my beautiful grey and white heart baby blanket…
I love this pattern, thanks to the very talented @emmacartercrochet for sharing this fabulous pattern which is called ‘The Ombre Heart C2C Blanket’ and which is also free!!! How generous to share such a brilliant pattern.
It is a corner to corner construction and therefore works up quite quickly. The version in Emma’s pattern has 5 colours which fade into each other, but I opted for a solid grey heart this time. I say this time, because this pattern is addictive and I already want to make more.
I opted to add a simple double crochet (single crochet) border in grey, and added one of my natural sustainably sourced cork labels as the finishing touch.
I just love the soft texture of this baby blanket…
I think the heart would look amazing in a swirl or gradient yarn, but I have chosen to make a rainbow blanket next, so the swirl may have to wait! After working on these calming grey and whites this is what I’m going to be using next…
My favourite colour…..Rainbow!

What an awesome project! There’s going to be a very lucky baby!
Ahh thank you….I wish I had known how to crochet when my babies were small…I would have made them so many cute things xx
Yes babies are definitely fun to knit and crochet for:). You’re making other babies happy instead:)
that’s a lovely way to look at it…thank you xx
That’s my favourite colour too!
it is a cracker! xx
This is my daughter’s best and favourite colour. She loves all shades of grey. 🙂
The blanket is super cute, and the coloured version is going to be very happy and cheerful. This pattern looks super easy. 🙂
I like grey too. It is a lovely pattern to follow x
Gorgeous. I can’t wait to see what the brights turn into. Similarly to you – once I finish a ‘quiet’ project aka as cooler colours, I quite like to switch to something brighter. Currently I have two grey projects on sticks and I really have to be in the mood to pick them up. I also have a lacy white new project that is driving me nuts – that’s a whole new story here one day!
aahh..thank you. Your lacy white project has me intrigued!
Me too! ha ha !
That is a very nice blanket. You made grey exciting.
aahhh…thank you. It seems grey is having a bit of a revolution in the UK. Everything is going grey!!!
Your blanket turned out so beautiful! I am looking forward to seeing what you create next with all of those lovely colors.
Thanks Ginny, It’s going to be another of these heart blankets…just rainbow colours this time. xx
Lucky Baby, the heart is very pretty and the grey is bang on trend.
Thank you…I’ve really enjoyed working with these colours xx
