Notes

Made in a few days taking long breaks. I way over thought the blanket body initially but worked it out the next time I started. Overall I like the blanket, I do feel however that it would be better suited to a stiffer yarn. I’ve switched to Hobby Lobby’s I love this yarn because it’s much softer with good drape but with this pattern I feel it buckles a bit and doesn’t make the structure look as polished. Just my opinion, I could be dead wrong.

Also, next time I make this I will stuff the head before attaching the face. It seems to make placement a little easier. But great pattern as usual, the issues were with my choices so it all boils down to personal preference. My daughter also wanted it without the bow. I made it just in case but will probably end up just making a barrette with it.
