Cheerful Squares Baby Throw

Lion Brand® LB Collection® Cotton Bamboo

GAUGE:

1 Square = 9 3/4 in. (25 cm). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Reviewed by Lisa Larson on 2013-02-27 ****
This was a very simple, but very time consuming project. I was unable to find the cotton bamboo yarn, so I substituted with Vanna's Choice Baby. I should have gone up at least 2 hook sizes with this trade, as the size g hook I used created way too much yarn tension. However, a little blocking at the end at least made the blanket flat. It is very difficult to have perfectly symmetrical squares (as is the case with most granny square blankets that require assembly) but adding a border and blocking can help make it look more uniform. Total time spent = approx 26 hours following pattern as shown.
