**Be sure to push puff to Right side of work while working this stitch
Notes:
- RS = Right side of work, WS = Wrong side of work
- Rounds 1-6 are all worked as the Right side. To easily keep track of the right side, place a stitch marker through a few of the stitches before moving to the next rounds. This will help keep future rounds facing the proper direction
- I blocked Round 53 to 60” length & width to square it off then blocked the border after. This way, you have a clean straight square without the pull of the border
- I’ve worked this blanket in 3 different colorways. Color changes for each will be listed together at the start of each section in this order Yellow - Pink - Green
- Yards for individual sections will also be noted throughout the pattern to help make it easier for you to know what is needed if you want to change colors differently than noted.
- Full video tutorials for each section of this blanket are available on my website and YouTube channel and are linked with each section below
