Pink & Purple Baby yarn

I used up the last of my pink Baby yarn with this one. Consequently I had to do the ruffle twice. Normally I do a shell that is 4 double crochets or sometiems five. Lately I have been doing 4 half double crochets, and that is what i had done around this one. I got to the last 4 inches of this blanket and ran out of pink yarn. So I pulled it all out and started over on row 2. 3 half double crochets with a chain in between make a teeny tiny shell but so pretty ! and no more left over baby yarn!
