Ohhhhhh now that is much clearer.  I can picture it more now using a  
popcorn crocheted stitch.  Did you knit this blanket on your knitting  machine?

Beeding  as crocheted, is it popcorn stitch? My tiny brain can't quite think
if that  is the name of the stitch or not. But at least now I see the
confusion in  my post, sorry.

Do you mean beading as in actual beads?

The  Blanket looks like a picture frame in a picture  frame. The inner
picture frame is twenty two inches by twenty two inches.  The name is along
the bottom. Since grandma doesn't want any shapes along  the empty top. I
thought I would make a removable large boe, but I might  change my mind. My
vision for now is as the baby is held the boe would  drape over the arm just
a bit.
Anyway sounds cute in my wild  imagination. 

So think of  skalupped edging. Then four inches of  plane frame going around
the inside  edge. Then a beeded frame, like  those old fashion picture
frames.
About  five inches from the  inside beeding is her name in Braille  going
across.

Oh the  blanket is crocheted.No it is not a granny  square. It is  crocheted
across adding the beeding and the Braille.  

This is  the second blanket I did the picture frame in a picture frame.  I
just  love the look. I also did a couple of blankets that look like   French
doors.

Becky and the boss with all the branes, just ask  him,  toothy grin. Love
Jake

Becky,

Good for you for taking on this   challenge.  What portion of the blanket is
used in this case to  spell  out the child's name?  For example, is it a
rectangle of 3  inches by  14 inches?  Is it in the corner along one  edge,
centered along one  edge, centered in the middle or maybe the  blanket is
made up of squares  with 1 letter in each  square?

Annette
