With the Rosarios4 Nanny yarn suggested I did have enough yarn left over to create a cushion to match. You can however make your border bigger. I really enjoyed creating this blanket and was quite sad when it was finished as it was like coming to the end of a good book. In the pattern along with the photo tutorial, I have created a grid so that you are guided to the colours for each and every square. No square is the same in colour. You can of course choose your own colours. Hope you enjoy making it. I would love to see photos of your finished blanket.
