Notes

Wanted a simple baby knit for a coworker. Was debating btw a Baby Surprise Jacket & a blanket.

Blanket won out as simple is about all I can handle at the moment. Tripped and broke my ankle in several places. So not moving a lot & need R&R.

Looked at the baby blankets out of Mandala. Found one similar to this one which of course is no longer available! Laugh Decided on this one.

Started but ripped out because I was doing Cat Bordhi’s LRinc & LLinc. But in the wrong direction… Whoops… Started again.

Liked the look of the M1L & R in a project. Decided that might be better.

M1L - insert needle from front
M1R - insert needle from front

Finished

Don’t recall when I finished it. Sadly, it is still sitting in a box as I never got around to mailing it! I hope to donate it if/when my local knit/crochet group starts doing donations again…

I don’t love the increases at the center. It puckers a bit. Since it was acrylic, there isn’t any way to block that out. Tried, but still there. Not super noticeable but I would go with a different pattern next time.
