happy dance: Baby’s Pinwheel Blanket
Well, I’ve finished!
null
The Pinwheel blanket is a little over 30″ in diameter plus a 1.5″ ruffle border.
I have to admit, I love the ruffle border. I did it by kfb and then k1p1 for several rows, knitting the purls and purling the knits. That was Very tedious and took a long, long time to finish a given round. Worth it, I think. But you have to know what you’re getting into before you do it.
Needle: US 10½ / 6.5 mm
Yarn: Plymouth Yarn Encore Colorspun Worsted
3 skeins = 600 yards
Colorway 7065
The needle size was perfect for a nice drape with this yarn weight. I have to admit that I didn’t realize the blanket was going to come out so…girl color schemed - because the balls when I picked themm up showed mostly the yellow and purple colors.
I think to be fair, I’m going to do another in more of a boy color scheme sometime in the near future.

Beautiful blanket! I agree, another would be good- one never knows when twins could arrive…. *tee hee hee*! And with any baby, you need lots and lots of blankets!
