Notes

Nice pattern! I ended up with enough yarn to make at least one more afghan the same size. My grandson, who loves all camo, chose the Night Camo yarn; his mom and I added Red Camo to lighten and give color. I started and got half done before I realized what I had made was narrower than I intended, and I wanted to add more lightness. I started over, adding Snow Camo. I’ve made three Personalized Baby Blankets and used the personalized idea to add a section with Will’s name, his favorite superhero, Batman, and a Batman symbol. I used the 3 camo yarns as the backgrounds for them. The camo yarn looks better to me--more camo-y, when used in rows of sc or hdc than those in dc or trc. The border for the blanket is 3 rows of hdc in Night Camo and #106 from Around the Corner Crochet Borders by Edie Eckman.
