Notes

Fun fun fun!!! This project is taking on a wonderful snugly soft blanket in look and feeling. I decided to just have fun with all the many different washcloth patterns out there on Ravelry and mix and match all the patterns together. I am casting on about 36 to 38 stitches but no more to make sure all my squares are about the same size.

I can still play with the border a little once I knit about 12 squares in total. But till then I will buy 3 more colours to go along with what we have so far. Keeping in minde we do not know if mom will have a girl or boy baby….

In the first 2 picture you can see the blanket all finished.
Then all the following Pictures are with the individual squares. Only for the last three squares I forgot to take individual shots to show you….I was so happy to see it coming together that I totally forgot to take them.

1st Pic: Dragon Fly. (Yellow)
2nd Pic: Heart Cloth. (Yellow)

3rd Pic: Tulip Lace in purple
4th Pic: all 3 together
5th Pic: Squares in purple

6th Pic: Ears of Grain in blue

7th Pic: my own Pattern:
8th Pic: all 4 together
9th Pic: new colours to add on lime green, orange and red

10th Pic: Penguin in Orange
11th Pic: Sun in Ornage
12th Pic: Perallelogram Check in red
13th Pic: Garter-Stitch Ridges in red
14th Pic: Half Brioche Stitch in green
15th Pic: Crossed Stockinette Stitch in green

And now all my squares are completed. I am working a crochet edge around them for now and then sew them together. Worked a chain stitch crochet border around the edge to make it nice and simple. I did not want too much going since we do not know if it is for a boy or girl baby. So simple was just the right idea as the squares have patterns in them.
