Baby Doll Blanket and Burp Cloth

This year for Christmas, I made each of my granddaughter’s a blanket and burp cloth for their baby doll. 
Actually, all I had to do was crochet the edge around both.  I purchased the matching flannel blankets and burp cloths from a local sewing shop.  They have a special machine that makes the holes around the edge.  They sell regular sized burp cloths and blankets also.  So if you have a new little baby on your holiday list this would be the perfect gift! 

If you want to do a different edge than I have done here, there are lots of patterns all over the Internet.  But here are two different shell styles.

Basic Shell~
