Inspired by the impending arrival of our first grandbaby, I started out making a baby blanket. In my excitement, I kept knitting and knitting thinking that the blanket just didn’t look big enough yet. Much to my surprise, when I bound off it was quite a bit larger than I thought it would be! Fortunately for you, I have now done the calculations and made the mistakes so you can have a blanket that is just the right size.

Enjoy!
