Crochet: Baby snuggler

So my friend had a surprise baby, and I wanted to make something.  The magazine said this could easily be done in a weekend, but clearly, the author was drunk.  Took me a couple of weeks.

The pattern is modular, made of a bunch of squares, blocked, and then attached together.  The pattern is from the Spring 2013 issue of Crochet! magazine, and is called the Blottir Bebe Snuggler.  This is 100% acrylic yarn, Mary Maxim Big Ball brand in Deep Blush.  My biggest project so far, I'm proud of the results.  Even if the hood isn't as high as it's supposed to be!
