Big Square Baby Blanket

I am in the throes of crocheting up a baby blanket for my cousin, who is due to give birth in about a month's time.  It's basically one giant granny square, but I like the fact that it has a round centre, which makes it look like an Evil Eye.  A talismanic, protective blanket of sorts. :)

Many thanks to Angie for sharing her crochet pattern at her gorgeous blog, le Monde de Sucrette.
