Here it is, my first finished project to share with all of you - a blanket for my baby boy!
I'm not going to lie, this one took a really REALLY long time; granted, I only did a little bit at a time, but it's a time-consuming pattern nonetheless.

I adapted the pattern from a beautiful crocheted hat I found HERE (it's in Russian, but you'll find the actual pattern diagram there as well).
