A good old Grandma's square

As a like handicrafts I was delighted to do a blanket to my baby. Nice to do crochet and have a purpose for it. Crochet is nice, but many times I find it hard to imagine something useful to do. Well, this time a blanket was more than welcome and as it is for a baby its not too big so pretty fast to finalize. As I like old things, vintage etc. a good old granny's square was a perfect pattern to do. Color inspiration I got from an old Gloria magazine where there was a picture of one big blanket. The yarn is "7 veljestä" from Novita bought already in summer from Finland. Unfortunately the yarn has 20% of polyester in it, I would have preferred 100% wool, but as they had a great selection of colors I decided to accept the polyester as otherwise I probably wouldn't have made the blanket. This was an easy option this time.
