Materials
Light grey, worsted weight yarn from Hobby Lobby. Three skeins of I Love This Yarn in light grey. The pom pom yarn is from Herrschners called Pom Pom Parade, 2 skeins. Now, I just went on their site and I did not see it! Maybe they have discontinued that line, so you might have to do a little searching.
What was your inspiration?
I love pom poms! Actually, it might be that I love circles. The soft edge of a circle. The squishy goodness of a round yarn pom. The circle of life, ring of fire....you get the idea! I made this blanket for an up coming baby shower. As I have been knitting and crocheting for years.....over 30.....I'm expected to give something hand made with love! I confess, I'm happy to do it!
I love the simple elegance of this stitch. Looks great on both sides making the blanket reversible. I also am a big fan of grey for babies. I know, not your typical color choice, but modern moms love it! Works great for a boy or a girl.
I included a hefty basket too! I still need to line the basket with fabric which will help it stand upright.
What advice would you give someone starting this project?

On the basket, I crocheted over the yarn between the poms as I went. Really easy and no cutting of the yarn until the end.
