My first baby blanket ever is completed. I'm really happy with how it turned out! I started it on October 1st, and I finished sewing in the ends on October 31st.
If you're thinking of making a blanket of your own, here are some of the logistics:
- I used mostly cotton-blend and wool-blend yarns because I like how they feel the best.
- There are a total of 27 different colored rows, but 54 total crocheted rows. In other words, I crocheted two rows and then switched to a different color.
- The pattern was just a double crochet stitch with increases and decreases to create the ripples.
- A blanket this size requires about 6 skeins of yarn, which ends up costing about $40.
- The blanket took a total of about 40 hours to complete, so I spent a little over an hour each day working on it (usually while watching a TV show).
Now that I've completed my first really big crocheting project, I feel like the possibilities are endless!
