I like to crochet for new babies of the family and friends, it's my gift to them when they have their baby showers. I find out what gender their having(boy or girl) and make a blanket for it. The first picture is actually the one that should be second. It shows where I'm putting the fringe on it. The next picture shows it before I started the fringe. All the patterns are my own making. I don't read patterns, unless I really want something I see. My grandmother taught me how to do crochet without a book.
