CROCHET: .Such a pretty and delicate matinee set and blanket-you would never guess this pattern is over50 years old; it is so up to date in style- one that will appeal to modern Mums with its retro “granny square” motif.
This particular motif is a more delicate version of the usual granny square and is perfect for baby things.
Of course you can make it in bright retro colours too- but it looks very sweet just as it is, in traditional blue for a boy (or pink for a girl).
Pale lemon or pistachio would be lovely too-if you are uncertain whether a boy or girl will be arriving; or pale grey with white for a very modern look.
