This baby afghan is about 38 inches by 45 inches because it was made with the smallest balls of yarn from my stash. Planning the colors was not an option but since it was all the same type yarn it seemed to blend very well. I do not know the amount of yarn needed because I did not weigh the yarn before nor the afghan after completion. However I did purchase a skein of lavender to join it and add a border so I would be sure not to run out. It was sort of an aimless project but I love the end result.
