Baby Blankets 2018 - 2019

I tweaked the pattern slightly and added a couple open rows here and there.

Yarn: Caron One Pound    

Color: White

I used white yarn instead of the 7 colors suggested by the pattern. I also started with a chain of 103 to make it slightly larger. This pattern was quick and easy resulting in a unique texture.

Great corner detail on this pattern!
My recommendation:  I chained 147 to make blanket larger than pattern suggests.

Using the  directions for the granny square pattern, I continued the stitch pattern to make a blanket. 

Yarn is a donation 

from my neighbor Linda.
