Flannel Blanket with Crocheted Edge

.
 I helped my mom make a baby blanket for our first great baby.  

Her great grand baby and my great niece.
.

My mom found this colorful flannel.  I then took it and hand rolled the edge and did a single crochet  along the edge about a 3/8 of an inch from the edge and 1/2 inch apart.  I used a very small metal crochet hook and poked it through the material and pulled the yarn through.  It was pretty easy.  Then I went around the blanket again with a row of single crochet.
 .
It took about 3 hours to do.  I "watched" 2 movies while I was doing it.  Needless to say, if I really want to "see" those movies, I will need to put them back in and really watch them.  LOL.........
.
The movies were mostly for background entertainment.  I do that once in a while.
.

I crocheted around the blanket with out trimming any material.  It was cut almost perfectly straight and so I decided to make it as big as possible.  So it is about 42-45" square.
.
I very nice size to keep our new baby snuggly wrapped up in.
.
Hopefully she won't be kicking her feet out.

This is my first Great baby- a niece!  I think she is beautiful.  I hope to meet her soon.

She is already over a month old....  Soon........

She lives in Wyoming and I am in Utah.  Not far, but far enough that we haven't met yet.
