Notes

Finished size: 39 inches, unblocked.

Rounds 1 & 2: Butter
Round 3: Key Lime
Round 4: Agave
Round 5: Sea Glass
Round 6: Cabana
Round 7: Atmosphere
Round 8: Lilac
Note: The above list is my first round. I ended up using the Sweet Bing throughout the project.

I did not use any of the Sweetheart Pink, but I did have to use the Peach Fuzz in order to have enough yarn to finish.

The final weight of the blanket was 640 grams, so it could be done with 7 hanks if it was all in one color. I used 9. For all but the Peach Fuzz I have 1-20 grams left.

Notes:

  • Every time I think the instructions are wrong it turns out I have not read them carefully.
  • The long version of the pattern (with color photos, i.e. not the print-friendly one) is very helpful.
  • The pattern will tell you where to start a round (e.g. any ch2) and then the instructions will start with something like “DC in next stitch.” The “next stitch” is the stitch identified in the introduction.
  • The support in this CAL is fantastic. I do recommend joining Melanie’s Facebook group even after it is over.
