Notes

Going to try doing a baby blanket in advanced since folks keep spawning.


Notes on a single square since I couldn’t find any information in anyone else’s that would help with yarn estimates, etc.

1 square (33 rows) used about 233 yards of yarn.
one square is almost 16.25 inches, ~139g


Join method: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3-zQA2qjLs

Also did a fake zigzag join around edging of squares once border was attached to create more of an overall quilted look.


Yarn note. For everyone who complains about RHSS being crappy yarn, they are elitists and it’s just BS. Yes, it’s cheap. Yes, it’s acrylic. But it’s soft and didn’t pill, and is machine wash and dry. I’ve got an afghan my great gran made me that’s 40 years old now ,and I still use it. And she used RHSS because that’s what people had back then. I’d say today’s version is far improved over what it used to be and it was far less splitty than any LB yarn I’ve ever used.
