Excellent pattern, well-written with some good pictures and tips on how to keep track of which side you’re on. I put it at medium difficulty, because of the absolute necessity to get the counting just right, so that the letters line up properly. The stitches themselves and pattern are very straightforward, but if you’re not used to keeping a very close count, or if you tend to accidentally drop or add a stitch occasionally, it can go awry.

I am so proud of how this came out! I have a good friend that had her little one 3 months early, and thankfully, mommy and baby are both doing very well. I thought her little miracle could use a beautiful blankie infused with lots of love and good wishes :)

Instead of a plain border, I added a shell border just to add that little extra feminine touch, and I think it turned out super cute. I was extremely pleased and proud of how this turned out.
