Notes

Finished size: 66.5” across.

46 rounds.

5 days to crochet.

When I finished with the Limelight, I laid it out and decided it wasn’t big enough. But also the points were leaning to the right a bit. So from that point on, I didn’t do the extra ch1 after the 2nd popcorns. The popcorn stitch calls for a ch1 at the end of the stitch, and the pattern called for a ch1 after the second popcorn, which would make a total of 2 chains. So I eliminated 1 of the chains to try to straighten out the points. I think if I ever made this afghan again, I would do that for the whole blanket.
