Nicely done! And such a nice gesture :-D
I personally appreciate the 'pattern' so I don't have to go through my own personal learning curve.
BTW - our daughter just had a baby and ordered several burp cloths (?!? what's up with that?!?) from Etsy - just plain old rectangular that she's constantly scrunching up against her neck. Hmmmm~

They will be much appreciated! Cute!
Red-warrior, congratulations! Three new grands in one week! I have to know, are they triplets? Cousins? I have only one and seemed to wait forever for him.
For a pattern, how about using a piece of printer paper? Hold one up to your shoulder and see if that wouldn't be a good fit. You'd fold the fabric and make the pad double the length of a sheet of printer paper, or about 22 inches long - roughly 21 1/2 when finished (or use A-4, if that's what's used where you live - a little longer and narrower, but close enough). Here's something I drew up in Paint, but if I were going to use it, I'd just cut the printer paper approximately like this, rather than take the trouble to scale and print it. The margins are not intended, which is why it's hard to get it to print to size on most printers, but if you made it a little smaller, the baby won't know the difference. I figure the part across the shoulder needs to be about 5 inches, but you could make adjustments for different size people. Have fun with this. Nobody is going to throw it away if it's not perfect. It's not a christening gown to be passed down through generations!
