I'm in a quandary. I have friends who recently found out they are expecting. My mind is already in overdrive for all of the things I will knit for this wee one. I love knitting for babies: booties, hats, sweaters, mitts, toys, you name it. I have some time before the little one is expected to arrive, but the largest investment of time and resources will have to go into a blanket. I want this blanket to be something that the little one will grow up with so I need something classic, soft, hardwearing and beautiful. I have been scouring Ravelry and Pinterest for some time trying to decide on the perfect first project for baby.
I absolutely love this...

And then there is this...

Sigh... and this is just the tip of the iceberg. Does anyone out there have any advice for a knitter in need of a perfect baby blanket?
Well, I love the zig zag one for sure! Here is another idea...my kids each have theirs, special ordered by a great aunt. Rachel's is pink like the one displayed here, and Isaac's is royal blue. They cherish them now! :)

I like the first one and the last one, they are both really great. So many choices!
