As I am writing this pattern, I am waiting for the arrival of our 3rd baby. I wanted to make a really warm and cozy blanket to bundle up with when I am awake for the late night feeds. It is always so chilly when you have to leave your warm bed to comfort or feed a tiny human! This blanket is worked in a 3 stitch repeating pattern so it is very easy. The super bulky yarn is amazing when you need some instant gratification, the pattern works up really quickly. The stitch pattern is a multiple of 3 stitches plus 1 (add 2 for the foundation chain).
