Notes

CO 101 stitches - liked the width of the blanket, but this would have made for a very short blanket. Frogged.

CO 85 stitches - this seems to better so far. Will probably be just lap blanket sized.

Debating whether or not to frog this blanket. Final dimensions are 40” x 40”. It covers my lap perfectly, but I wish it would be slightly bigger. Blocking may help it grow by a few inches.

Added a black border to increase the size and to make the colors pop a bit. The border is from the Purl Bee Bulky Baby Blanket pattern. I had tried several other borders (miter square and applied I-cord), but none of them looked quite right.
