Crochet Ripple Throw for a Baby Girl

 The baby rug/throw  I posted on earlier is finally finished and ready to deliver to one very special little girl. It is a little bigger than I originally intended but on reflection it will probably be more useful bigger than small.
The raised triple crochet alternately in the front and the back of the ripples makes the throw truly reversible and the increasing and decreasing number of rows in the bands of colour, gives the option of folding the throw to give the effect of either a mainly white or mainly pink throw. 
I was originally a little stuck on how to do the border, even ordering some books to help, however when they took a while to arrive I just went ahead and started on one out of my head... The resulting border is a combination of shells in white with a picot edging in the variegated coloured wool... a really pretty edging which I'll use again.
Using the variegated wool in the double crochet picot edging really ties the whole throw together and finished it off nicely. The border is not that wide but with the lightness of the throw (despite its size) an over ornate border would have seemed like overkill.
I think I'll write up the whole pattern and see if there is interest in buying it.
... And just for those crochet geeks out there... the wool is 4 ply and the hook a 3.50mm. 
Next post will be getting back to other ways to use squares made from left over sock wool.
