I’ve been enjoying making Granny Rectangle Blankets, and so I decided my parents needed some. This is basically the same pattern l I used for A Baby Shower Gift Set except I used much more yarn and made it much larger.

I used a total of 10 skeins for both blankets, so about 5 for each. I did the full skein of the red, orange, and green/teal for each one but then I started splitting the colors in half. I tried to do this by weighing the skein as I worked off of it, but it wasn’t as reliable as I wanted it to be. So then I just guessed the right amount from the OUTSIDE pull on one blanket and then without detaching did the same amount from the same skein on the second blanket using the CENTER pull and got them even.
