Started a new blanket--this one for my granddaughter [View all]

It's her Christmas present. (She's getting to be a big girl now--sleeping in a big-girl bed!)

Here is a picture I found similar to the pattern I'm working with. I'm going to use 3 colors: pink, pink ombre, and white.

how did the pink ombre turn out? yellowdogintexas Jan 2022 #13

it's a bit disappointing MissMillie Jan 2022 #14

another question: what are the different stiches you used? yellowdogintexas Feb 2022 #15

The stitches were primarily double crochet MissMillie Feb 2022 #17

were your panels fairly small? It's hard to get good variations yellowdogintexas Feb 2022 #16

no, these panels are quite long (n/t) MissMillie Feb 2022 #18
