Simple Baby Blanket Suggestions?

[linaelyn]

I'm nothing like an expert knitter -- I don't even have a knitting icon uploaded! I've have my first sock on the needles for the past six months, and I can't seem to get it right, no matter how many times I frog it out and start again! But a dear friend is having a baby in April, and I think if I work with a really nice yarn, I can make a baby blanket from a simple pattern.

Anyone have a favorite they'd like to suggest? (Ravelry links work for me.)

Thanks!

I think the one I did is about the same as the Grandmother's Favorite, just from a different source.

Very easy - garter stitch, yarn over, knit 2 together.
