Loved this pattern! So easy and will definitely make again!

Cast on 92, for 90 stitch width since I’m using worsted weight yarn.

First time using the Michael’s Craftsmart, and I really liked it. Usually use ILTY and found it comparable. I used this because the Off-White color didn’t have as much of a yellow cast as ILTY Ivory. ETA this washed up beautifully! Nice and soft!

Started this while on a trip and ran out of Off-White. Went to the nearest Michael’s (2 hours away) and bought 2 more skeins (I knew the dye lots wouldn’t match). I worked up two more of the white sections, and the new yarn had more of an Ivory cast to it! So I had to frog and re-do the last parts after I got home where I had another skein with the same dye lot. Lesson learned!

White sections used 37g/1.3 oz per 5 row section.

Colors use 8g/.3oz per row. I wasn’t happy with the RH yarn -- it was really fuzzy! But I grabbed it from home before I left on my trip, and had to use it. It’ll be fine.

Instead of the FB/BP ribbed border, I wanted something more femine so I did a soft wave border (that I use on my Owl blankets).

Finished size 32” x 42”

Overall, love how it turned out and my 25 yo daughter said its her favorite blanket that I’ve made! <3
