Shhhhhhh...Bunny Rose Blanket

Can you keep a secret?
Oh good!
I'm going to surprise Bunny Rose with her very own
Mini Granny Rose Afghan.
Shhhhhhh...
 It's finished but I want to wait to give it to her once I have made a coordinating pillow. 
I used the granny rose pattern from here or here,
but crocheted only two rounds for the rose instead of three
with only two granny rounds as shown in the photos. 
Squares are joined with single crochets. 


The blanket is 4 squares by 7 squares = 28 squares.
(Afghans fold better if you use an even number of rows - I forgot this time.)

The border is one row of hdc in white, and just a simple shell border in meadow,
 but the pattern comes with a picot border that would be cute too!
(All yarn is Stylecraft Special DK stash that I purchased from Wool Warehouse. :-) )


All folded up and ready to give
(Once the pillow is done, that is.)
I'm so excited!
I'll take photographs of the gift giving and share with you.:-)
