I've finished another one!
This one is 40 squares (toddler size) and I tried a few different things with the border. First, after the standard granny round to tie it all in, I tried out a 'crossed double crochet stitch' that I've read about but never tried. So simple! You do a normal double crochet stitch (I use american terms) and then do one in the stitch behind it so it crosses over. It's quite a subtle effect but I think in strong colours, it would really stand out. I finished off with a spike stitch variant for the last round-I think it looks quite lovely! It adds quite a bit to the dimensions as well-this blanket measures 34" by 52".
A friend of Bonnie's also donated these two lovely blankets for Cwtch of Comfort
This one is narrow but long, I think it'll be a good size for a premature baby.
This is a fabulous size! I love the design.
Thank you Ruth, they are very much appreciated xxx
