Nothing beats a newborn baby wrapped up in a bundle of handcrafted love.
The shawl when wrapped around and acts as the finishing touch to really make the introduction of the baby to family members all that more special.
Knowing someone lovingly made this crochet shawl for the baby and the work that went into its creation makes sure the baby shawl becomes a family heirloom.
I have also used this crochet pattern to make a beautiful soft Shawl

PLEASE NOTE:
From now on and throughout the rest of the pattern, Once we SLP to join the rounds into the 3rd chain of starting chain 4, then to create the first Ch4 of the rounds slip into the middle of the First V stitch to start from here on.
You can just slip into the middle of the First V stitch but I believe the result is nicer with the extra slip stitch
