Pretty ‘N’ Pink Peek-A-Boo Baby Afghan
I was in need of a new project and decided to do this simple, yet pretty combination. With a peek-a-boo edging and shells. I really like the way it turned out! It is such a pretty soft pink with a lacy feel.

Sew in all the loose ends with a needle.
This is a great pattern for a warm, winter blanket for baby! The stitches are close together and it forms a thatching like a woven basket. I made a very large afghan using the basket weave stitch a couple of years ago. It is a more advanced pattern as you are working by putting your hook around the post of the previous rows dc. You do this either from the front of the project or the back of the project.
The textured row alternates between a treble crochet and single crochet.
