I, the self-taught knitter, ended up making this project twice. It was a lesson in the importance of yarn tension. The first blanket came out shorter than it was wide, and super curly. Undaunted, and with plenty of yarn left, I began again. Greer's baby dolls have been sleeping quite snugly under the results of round 1.
That slightly embarrassing admission made, I love this sweet thing. I am definitely going to file this pattern away for future use.

Next up, hats for the kids and this (but in different colors):

I feel lots of lust for this blanket. I want to pay you to make another one for me. Because mine would be shaped like the state of Idaho.
I love it and am quite impressed. I also love the yarn--ridiculously cute
Miriam, for you, I would do it for free; just buy me the yarn. It cost about $45.00, but I can get two blankets out of that, if you know anyone else who'd like one.
Also, I was thinking I'd like to make it a little wider and a little longer. It's about 28" by 30", good for a newborn swaddle.
Let me know!
That is way cute. Good job!
