This blanket is knit in one piece, one square at a time so there is no sewing squares together when finished. There is an optional ribbon edging. Sample pictured is 56 squares, each approx 3” x 3”. Sample is knit using super soft Angora & Merino and Microfiber Ribbon alternated at random intervals. I love the softness and the aura of the angora but this baby blanket would also be nice using Superwash Merino AND it would be machine wash & dry – great for babies!
