Baby blanket and hat for a coworker's baby shower

We haven't had an expectant mom in our department at work for decades.  People tend to stay in our department until retirement, which has started to happen more frequently-I expect I will be next-but we have had some departures and replacements with new fresh faces in the last few years.  One of them is expecting a baby boy in mid December, so we are having a shower for her the Monday after Thanksgiving.  Everyone has been acting like "work moms and grandmoms, sister") so we are all excited about the pregnancy and future baby.  I decided to crochet a pattern by Kerry Jane Designs..I love her work..it's so fresh and yet modern and this  mom likes the same.  The nursery is charcoal, gray and soft green with white accents, so I used gray and white.  The little hat is also one of her designs and comes in a variety of sizes so if the mom wants one like it I have enough yarn leftover that I could do that with a big fluffy pom-pom.  I will see after she opens it.  The pattern is easy and fast because you use bulky yarn.  I am thinking it's perfect for covering the baby in the car seat or across his back/bum when it's a cold night here in Minnesota to keep him cozy.  Hoping she is liking it as much as I do.
