I wanted to use camo yarn but only found it in Red Heart which isn't soft enough for a baby. So, I made the afghan in baby yarn and each letter for the name in Red Heart camo. I placed the letters where I wanted them and sewed them on using a yarn needle and a whip stitch through the front of the stitches of the afghan.
