Blanket toy.

My sweet friend Andrea gave birth to her little baby boy last night. He surprised her and came a month early! Perfect in every way. 

Amongst the excitement i remembered i hadn't gotten round to making his present! I actually had NO idea what i was going to buy or make. I remember Andrea saying Benson (don't you love his name?!) already had a lot of clothes so i had settled on making him something BUT what the heck do you make the child of a redonkulas crocheter and all around crafter?! pffttt.. 

Well after a little googling i found this like ... HERE

And came out with this ...

A cute little snuggle blanket/ toy! 

The pattern is in Swedish but it translates well enough on google translate. 

I used my own pattern for the granny square and wings then used her pattern for the toy head. I then made up my own eyes and nose. 

I think it turned out pretty sweet. It will probably be my go to baby gift from now on! 

Maddox tried it out a little, he loved the little ears tickling his face.
