I came across this  lovely pattern on a blog called (Mille Makes) and have adapted it to make a stylish baby blanket: https://millemakes.wordpress.com/2011/05/22/something-pretty-the-pattern/

I lined it with flannel (that was quite challenging!), as the design has holes and you  don’t want little fingers from getting caught in the design. This is a fantastic way to use up any left ofver yarn.

What do you think?
