I still really love this pattern. I’ve made it three times now and it’s been a joy every time. It’s easily memorized and works up quickly, with a beautiful result every time. Love it!

As before, my mods are few and the same:
-Began with 144 Fdc instead of chaining 146.
-Carried the unused yarn up the sides in order to minimize the ends.
-I also did not cut and re-attach to begin the border, but rather turned & continued on with the same yarn.

9 reps of contrast color. This seems to be well proportioned, if not adjusting the stitch count.

Here are my other 2 projects:
Joey’s Avalon Baby Blanket (includes stitch counts for adjusting the size)
Avalon Baby Blanket 2

Interesting that I used substantially less of the same yarn this time than the first time I made it, but the size came out pretty much the same.
