Hooded Baby Blanket Reviewed by Michelle Woodruff on 2008-05-12
I agree with other commenters about the size of the blanket being a bit too small. Added to that, I did not check my guage carefully and ended up about 4 inches smaller than the intended final size. I added a border in the pattern stitch to increase the size a bit--now I just have a ton of baby yarn left to find something else to make :). I would make again, starting with a larger foundation chain, and in a thicker or softer yarn, like Homespun or cotton. The Pound of Love yarn is very nice looking, but a little scratchy.
