I adore the thermal stitch, tho I do like the classic coverlet, the sweet potato baby blanket {simple crochet on the ABOUT site}, and Bernat's beautiful baby blanket. I always worry about their lil fingers and toes getting caught in any sort of open mesh or loose stitches. I used a smaller hook with double stitch in a hexagon shape with softer yarns than red~heart's super saver but not the ultra soft baby yarns to make lil mats that the baby can rest on and push themselves up. That way there is always a clean spot on the floor for baby to be. {cuz my floors are ... not the cleanest they could be}
ReplyDeletemy floors aren't the cleanest either. i try to make one "pretty" blanket and one blanket for every day use. so one is "holey" and one isn't. muffin man loves the star blanket. i made several of those last winter.
