this here is the purl bee’s blanket, and this photo can be found here. their website is great and has tons of fun crafty ideas and know-how!
i have recently discovered these and am obsessed!! i don’t know how to crochet, but have already ordered books to learn, and have been at it just about every night. …MUST MAKE A BABETTE BLANKET… i feel like a zombie. anywho, here are a few links to the flickr group and to a couple other hot granny-square-afghan-making spots. you really must check these out.
UPDATE: the pattern for this blanket can be purchased as a pdf at interweave’s website.

I’d love to try this..but there is so much I don’t know ..like is it crochetted together or stitched? And my granny squares are not that great.

I love this blanket. Where can I get some instructions for it? I have looked on the net and nothing seems to be around?

thanks for the comments, but i must begin by saying that i am (unfortunately) not very educated on crocheting, or how to make these awesome blankets. i looked on the web and couldn’t find instructions on how to make the blanket, or the particular square that i liked. So, i have ordered a couple books, ‘200 Crochet Blocks for Blankets, Throws, & Afghans’ by Jan Eaton… this book contains the patterns for every granny square imaginable. i also ordered some “how-to” crochet book, but i have already forgotten which one! sorry… i will be posting a review on them once i get them and take them for a spin, so check back! hope this helps on your babette-blanket-making-journey! cheers!
