Notes

Making this for our baby.

While I’m using the same weight yarn as the pattern, I’ve gone down a needle size and will be making it narrower than the pattern says.

Increased until I ran out of the (5oz.) skein of Forest Floor. I got up to 179 stitches; it’s about 39” wide. Doing the stripes until 20 garter ridges each, about 6” each. Should be about 50” long when done - probably could be a bit more rectangle, but I think it’ll be a good size, and who knows, my measurements at this stage could be a bit off.

(Looking at the pattern, mine will be a bit different. I thought there were five stripes of color, not just four with the last color as the corners. I’m doing five stripes of color and will be using the green again for the corners.)

Ha, I did misread the colors in the pattern but not in the way I originally thought. I’ll have the bottom triangle, four stripes of color, and the original color in the corners at the end.

On to the third stripe!

Finished, almost a week after he was born. Oh well, it’s too hot for a blanket right now anyhow. Just need to sew in the few ends!
