I started this project in May of last year, making 56 squares of different stitch types

By January, I had all the squares put together and I added three rows of crochet border. Most of the ends are tucked in by now.

That's very nice! Was it fun learning all the different patterns?
Who says a blanket has to be any particular size?

yes it was fun, although some of the patterns lend themselves better to a blanket than others
I did seed stitch, bordered stickinette, garter stitch, knit two rows purl two rows, and mock rib
some of these stitch patterns I got off of lion brand
and I agree, who says size matters when it comes to baby blankets?:teehee: :woot: :woohoo:

That is very nice. How did you put it together if you don't mind me asking
That's so lovely and cozy looking too. I've never regretted making my grandchildren's baby blankets big--they use them until they are 4 or 5, and they can still cover up! I admire you for sewing all those together. That takes patience and good eyesight! Great job.
