  6. This is so cute!!!! Ruffles are in style. Right now I am making blankets for Project Linus, some little girl will love to get this blanket. I think I had better hide these blankets from the girls in my family. This will make a great birthdays, Mother's, or just because gifts I won't be able to make the require numbers for the girls for
    Christmas. Thank you for posting. Gotta get more yarn
