I am lucky enough to have 7 Great Nieces and Nephews but soon there will be ----
And the little one's Mummy thinks it is going to be a boy!
It is due in January -- not very long after little Gilberto.
So I had a break from dreaming about our Grandson's arrival, and had a little think about a Brand New Great Nephew!
A blanket big enough for a car seat or cuddle on cold January days when he is saying "Hello" to the world!
I love this pattern and have used it many times
If you want to enjoy it too here it is---
And if you are worrying it might be a little girl it looks just as pretty in pink!
