The Blanket of Many Stitches

Here is the link to The Blanket of Many Stitches, Cascade's MKAL 2021-2022. Every two weeks, participants received three stitch patterns to work on. Most pattern sections were 8-12 rows in height, the total number of stitches on the blanket was 200, the yarn was worsted weight.  Most people who participated and posted on the Facebook page dedicated to this project used 4 colors of yarn throughout. I used one and only skipped the two pattern sections that required two colors within that section. I substituted a stitch pattern of my own and am happy with the result. I haven't measured the blanket, but it is definitely long enough! 

Little Boy Blue sweater

 This sweater is going to a handsome little guy that is 6 months old already. He is a big boy so I made a size 2-3 (pattern designation on that sizing). It may be right for him by fall according to the photos I see on Facebook. 

Because the garter stitch hem wants to flip up on the bottom of the sweater, I may switch to traditional ribbing on the hems, and neckline also. I think I could eliminate that button placket with a ribbed neckline.
