This is an easy blanket, knit using only garter and seed stitches. I made mine with three 300 gram balls of Bernat Baby Blanket, a super bulky category 6 yarn. Each ball contains 256 yards.

The colorway I used is called Chicks and Bunnies. When I was working on it at a knitting group, I mentioned that I thought the seed stitch sections looked like chopped hard-boiled eggs that had been overcooked and had that little gray ring around the yolk. They christened it the Egg Salad Blanket.

I used US 13, 9mm needles. My blanket has holes, so if I was starting it over again today, I would use size 11 or even 10.5 needles for a tighter fabric. I sewed a tag made of satin blanket binding into the blanket, because my granddaughter loves to feel the tags while she sucks her thumb.
