Afghan for a Special Little Person

I had picked up the Bernat Baby Coordinates Sweet Stripes in the Sprite Stripes at Hobby Lobby on the clearance rack for a few dollars off per skein and so I decided to use that. DH had been with me and had been convinced that I wasn't going to use it so I had to prove him wrong. This pattern came from an older worn-out copy of Leisure Arts Leaflet 2335 - Unique Baby Afghans to Crochet. It's quite a large baby afghan at 36"x36".

I really love the variation in this pattern. The chain loop braids are gorgeous too. I've made this one several times now and it's been so beautiful every time.
