What a beautiful blanket, and perfect for any colour scheme. We never found out what our kids were going to be, I quite liked the idea of a surprise! I know that is unusual these days!

In reply to Karen Morgan. Karen, Thank you for your comment and question. I am referring to the regular size skein in my post, but keep in mind the amount of yarn you will need may vary depending on your gauge, how big you make the blanket, and the size hook you use. I hope that helps :-) Good luck!! ~Caitlin

Hello Caitlin, Hope all is well with you. I’m experimenting with this lovely pattern and I’m wondering the size of the Red Heart Super Saver yarn you used. Is it the standard size or the JUMBO skein that you reference when stating one skein of each? This will help when I go out and get my yarn (hopefully tomorrow).
Thanks, Karen

In reply to Bonnie Burkhardt. Bonnie, Thanks for your comment and for Pinning :-) Light blue would be a beautiful substitution. I wish you luck getting you WIP situation under control, I know what a struggle that can be ;-) ~Caitlin

Caitlin, Posting it on Pinterest. If I made this blanket, I would substitute a light blue or aqua for the green color. I love the tans and blues together. And gray tones are good too. Thanks for thinking of the holes problem. I am old enough to realize that, but didn’t until I saw a statement from someone making a comment many years ago. I would truly like to try this pattern, but am swamped with too many WIPs now. 😉

Thank you for your kind words, I sincerely hope that your nephew is doing well now, and that he has fun like all children should do! Health is the greatest gift that life can offer us
You know Caitlin all the moms who get my handmade items are always grateful and some burst into tears. Sometimes it is very difficult to see them so desperate, I often come home completely upset. But for me it’s the right thing to do, because I know too well the path that some of these moms will have to take.
Sincerely, Lucie-France
PS Thank you for remembering the multiples and the hook of course! if I want to communicate with you or send you photos can I just click on REPLY in one of your emails? I don’t have Facebook or other social media

In reply to Lucie-France.

Lucie-France,
What a generous thing to do for those babies! My nephew was in the NICU for several months after he was born very early. I’m so glad you found my pattern helpful and hope that everyone you donate too will love it! When you use a lighter yarn you might also want to use a smaller hook, so the holes stay gone, but the blanket will be a bit smaller so don’t forget to add some multiples to make the blanket whatever size it needs to be 🙂 Hope that is helpful. Thank you for the comment, I love hearing how creativity strikes you and what you enjoy doing!
~Caitlin
