I tend to buy yarn for specific projects I have in mind but sometimes I just like a color or I order too much of something and I've ended up with a whole bin of colors I don't have a plan for. Every once in a while I get out this stash of yarn and lay it out on the living room floor. Thomas loves when I do this. I spend hours hemming and hawing over the colors, trying out new combinations in an attempt to use up some of these odds and ends. This color combination is the result of one of these yarn chaos sessions. I am obsessed with how this blanket turned out! I think it's just the right mix of modern and classic.
The pattern for this blanket is from Raverly and it's a free download! Woo! You can get it HERE! I like the look it created, a little twist on a classic chevron pattern. It's basically two rows of a regular chevron stitch followed by two rows of a granny chevron stitch. I love that it ends up looking a little like lace or eyelet- so girly!
It's going to be difficult to give this blanket away, I might have to make a duplicate for my own stash of baby blankets.
