The blanket is not as big as I’d planned, but it’s big enough, and it will be augmented by the border. I’ll get to that when this has dried.
It looks a bit dark, both because this photo was taken at night and because it’s wet.
Each color was used 5 times, and the tails were woven in by crocheting over them as I went along (see this page for more details on how to do that).
not your average crochet

Thanks! For this baby blanket I used less than half of the ball of KnitPicks Brava Sport for each color.

Looks great. I look forward to seeing what border you add. You’re very conscientious – I never block blankets until they get finished and tossed in the washer and dryer!

Thank you! I don’t usually block before completion but this is a gift for someone, so I wanted to make sure the border wouldn’t be too tight or something. 🙂
