Little Peeps is a circular blanket worked from the center outwards. The concentric puffs are formed by slipped stitches, using only one color at a time.

Round blankets are great for tucking around babies in strollers and carseats, and for floor mats.

skein info: for the blanket pictured, just under 2 skeins of Madeline Tosh DK was used for the darker color, and just over 2 skeins for the lighter color.

gauge details: exact gauge is not crucial for this project, but if it is too tight, the edge may ruffle.

Size: 28” in diameter after blocking.
