I made this super easy Granny square blanket for my youngest and added some poms on the corners because who doesn't love poms!! She loves it and it is super soft and the poms make it easy for her to drag it around wherever she goes. I didn't follow any pattern. Just started with a granny square and kept going until it was the size I wanted and then added the poms! This would make the perfect gift for anyone in your life who is about to have a new baby or has already had one! Everyone loves a handmade gift. I'll tell you how I made mine!
