Finished a Baby Blanket


Finished a baby blanket!


This is 100% wool purchased from Yarn Treehouse on eBay. The color is CK21.


It's the first time I have worked with 100% wool. I wish I had bought more of this as it would make a beautiful sweater!


It took four skeins and just a touch of a fifth.


The pattern I used can be found at Lacy Small Afghan Pattern. I recommend only doing 131 for the beginning chain. About.com recommends in many patterns to just do a chain, then cut off the extra after doing the first few rows. I think that would make it more likely to unravel. (I have noticed this in several books now also.)


For the edging I just did a 3dc shell around, doing a shell in each corner.
