This blanket is wonderful to make especially during the cold months in the Upper MidWest and New England during winter. The repetitve stitch pattern is easy to memorize and the I-cord edging gives a very nice, clean edge only leaving end-weaving for the finishing.

Both suggested yarns would be lovely. Encore Mega is a great yarn for affordability and easy care. Abuelita Super Bulky is for that special home to bring the purist the best satisfaction.
