CO 160 sts on size 6 needles. Color name is Little Duck Egg, 436. I used 11 balls of yarn.
I hope I get this done before the intended recipient heads to college. Will be my mindless knitting while husband is in hospital and rehab for knee replacement.

1-1-16 - new year! Am getting there, have about 14 more leaves to knit and then will be able to block & sew together and send off to Calvin before his first birthday in August.

1-17-16 - Finished! Really nice, soft yarn but expensive. Love the color and pattern is nice, not over done, just a great, classy design! Size is about 35” square and 44 leaves in the border. My husband’s new knee is healing and the blanket is finished - happy days! I sewed the edging on with a simple overcast stitch.
