Basketweave crochet car seat blanket

So, a week ago I found out that there was a baby shower at my husband's work for one of the wives (very sweet lady), this coming Monday. I cannot make the shower since my work commute makes it impossible, but I thought that I should send something in with my husband.

Since the Happy Hooker's Seija set blanket is one of my favorite things to make for a gift, I thought I could whip one up rather quickly. The only problem is that I am bored with stripes and hate having weave in so many ends. So, I decided to try an experiment. I took the stitch pattern from Dot's Basket Weave Baby Blanket and combined it with the Happy Hooker's Seija set pattern (I love the ability to buckle a car seat belt through the blanket so it doesn't fall off).

I am actually really happy with the result, though it took a bit of playing to get it right. (Hint, you have to add a few more rows since the stitch patterns shrinks the height of the stitches somewhat).

Here are the pictures:

Hello there, There's no doubt that your website might be having internet browser compatibility problems. When I take a look at your site in Safari, it looks fine however, when opening in I.E., it's got some overlapping issues.
I simply wanted to give you a quick heads up!
Apart from that, wonderful site!
