The variegated yarn was a gift from my mom. Thanks Mom! I just happened to have one skein of the cream color in my stash. It was perfect for finishing the blanket. I love it when the project comes together.
This took me three days to make, crocheting sporadically. (It was hot here and this blanket is warm. I had to take frequent breaks.) Blankets sure are quick when using bulky yarn!
I've been on a baby blanket kick recently so expect to see more baby blanket patterns soon. I have another design in the works and have made several using other people's designs. I just need to weave in ends and photograph the blankets.

Thank you so much for this pattern. I was having such a hard time using Bernat blanket yarn for the first time until I found your pattern. I think the combination of using the larger hook that you used for this pattern and the simple repeat made all the difference. I also love how your start with single crochet for the first row.
