Baby blanket

This is the very first time I worked with Bernat Baby Blanket yarn, and let me tell you it is some very soft thick yarn. So much so I wasnt sure what kind of pattern to use for this blanket, because it would be hard to see the stitches. I went with a granny square. I have to admit, while making this blanket I didn't realize how much I wanted grandchildren. I made this before we knew we are going to have a grandson. This was commissioned by a dear friend of ours, was also the very first thing I ever sold!

 

 I would love to know what other patterns this could be used with. I just dont know other then the granny or maybe a shell pattern what else I could see the stitches with.
