100% SW wool, fingering weight.
I’m starting this new blanket and the pattern has left me scratching my head. Using circular needles, it instructs to slide stitches and repeat working on the same side instead of turning work. When I try to do this I either end up working in the round or I’m forced to pick up a stitch from the left of all the other stitches.
Simple and quick children’s blanket. Cotton yarn with a 5 mm hook. I ended up adding a scalloped border but didn’t snap the full picture.
This is the first blanket I’ve blocked and it is amazing what a difference it makes! The blocking kit I purchased was too small for the full blanket so I blocked it folded in half.
