I love this design. This is the third time I’ve made it.
It’s my go-to baby blanket.
It takes a while to make but is well worth the time.
Have a beautiful yarn for it.

Made 7 st st ruched sections.
Made all eyelet sections with the Eyelet # 2 directions.

35” x 35” before washing
38” w x 36” l after washing
Fabric relaxed upon machine wash warm, tumble dry gentle warm. Laid flat, had less shirring, but remained beautiful.

This fancy yarn was worthy of the design.

It can be machine washed / dried safely but one needs to test a swatch to know what will happen regarding possible gauge changes. The color and sheen remained the same for me.
