I created this blanket for my sweet baby Piper while I was still pregnant with her. I envisioned her loving the delicate textures of the stitches as well as the texture of the velvet yarn itself.

Each color change should happen on the same side of the blanket. Instead of fastening off at each color change, I prefer to drop the yarn and pick it back up at the next color change. The extra yarn will be covered up by the border.
