Lulu's Blanket

My brother & sister in law are having a baby girl in January, early February. This will be our first niece! I can not wait to meet her. I have a few other gifts on the needles for baby Lulu (a nickname from the Grandmother) but I wanted to start out with a bright, slightly modern gift. Her mom is a "fashion forward" kind of woman so I thought she'd appreciate the pattern.

The pattern I used is the Chasing Rainbows pattern on The Rouge Knitter's blog. It is knit on circular needles from the center out using the magic loop method. The pattern was super easy, in front of the TV without having to think knitting. I love the asymmetry. Hopefully this will get some good use when baby Lulu arrives!
