So long story short, when my brother and sister in law asked if I could make them a blanket for their children to be blessed in, I knew my time and energy would be meaningful to them and it made the experience of knitting this blanket for them even more enjoyable and special.
I showed my sister in law lots of different stitches that she could choose from and the seed stitch immediately caught her eye! She wanted a stitch that was dainty so that meant not my usual love for chunky yarn and big needles either. But I think it turned out perfect! I went to Jo Ann and literally felt every size 3-4 size yarn to find the softest one. There was one clear winner and has the perfect name....Feels Like Butta! It was my first time knitting with this yarn and I am very happy with it.
*I only used one skein of the bonus bundle yarn. If you're using the regular sized skeins, you will need at least 3.
This blanket can easily be made for a larger size. Just add some more stitches!
