My sister-in-law commissioned me to make a blanket for her to give to her sister as a wedding shower gift. Her sister loved the ripple baby blanket I had made for my nephew, so she requested an adult sized version in brown neutrals.

This is a comfortable sized blanket for a couple to snuggle up with on the couch. It is not very heavy, yet not too light, either. And the colours are quite pleasant; gentle ripples of white, cream, and light brown.

I found some adorable wooden tags with "Handmade" engraved into them, and with their dark grain, I thought they would be a perfect tag for this blanket. I stitched one onto the bottom corner over a white ripple for maximum contrast.

After a quick wash (it is next to impossible to keep Annyong away from a knitted blanket), I folded the afghan up and tied it up with a ribbon and button.

| All wrapped up and ready to gift |
I included a care tag I designed with washing instruction and my name on it.

I'm excited to pass this project along for gifting. I sure hope the recipient is happy with this special homemade gift.
