Bright Flower blanket
This is for baby Kennedy who is scheduled to make her debut in a few short weeks. I have been working on this blanket since September. Why so long? It's a good project to just do a few squares or should I say hexagons at a time. Making the hexagons was easy but the sewing together took a while. I made all of the large flowers as an anxiety aid as I watched the BCS National Championship game. Most of the construction was done on a "vacation" week at my mom's. The pattern did not call for a border but at the last minute I decided to add one. I went around once in single crochet then again in half double crochet. In the valleys I did an increase of 2 HDC and on the peaks I did 3 HDC increase. The pattern is called Bright Flowers Throw on the lion brand website http://cache.lionbrand.com/. I love the Vanna White yarn and the colors have such cute names: the white is lamb, the pink is pink poodle, the green is sweet pea and the orange is goldfish. Thanks for looking.
