Thanks for your suggestion for the border. I will try that. Love the idea about making a basket with the basketweave design. I think I will make one , so my granddaughter can put her Afghan in it when she isn't using it.
Thanks agin.

Hey Tina,

Thank you! Gosh, I hadn't thought of that. But I do think you could make a basket with it. I'd try making a square to form the bottom and then working a long rectangle to sew around all four sides of the bottom and form the sides of the basket. The suggested stitch multiple above should give you an idea of what number of chains you might want to start with for each.

Happy experimenting!

In reply to Amanda. Hey Amanda, Oh man, I can relate to mom brain. I don't necessarily think Thick & Quick is too rough for a baby, but the T&Q version is just quite heavy. I think it would make a perfect play mat for an infant though. If you're interested, the kit for this afghan (using Wool Ease Thick & Quick) is on sale right now at LionBrand.com. (The sale ends July 20, 2017.) It's a great price for all the supplies! Happy crocheting! Jess

Love this blanket! A friend of mine just had a baby and I'd love to make this. I noticed you mentioned trying Vanna's Choice instead of Thick and Quick. Would the Thick and Quick yarn be too rough for baby? I can't remember the texture of it. Thank you! Also, configuring new chain numbers and dimensions isn't working with my mombrain these days, which is also why I just want to get the same yarn you used so that I can follow the immediate pattern shared.

This is incredibly beautiful. Do you think this could be made into a square basket? I am trying my hardest to find something for my daughters bedroom but have not found anything I like.

In reply to Cheryl.

Hey Cheryl,

That sounds beautiful! My suggestion would be to make a little swatch that is the minimum multiple I outline in the pattern. So maybe something like 12 ch. Then just work a few rows and measure how wide your piece is. You can use that swatch to inform how many total stitches you want to ch for the size blanket you want. (In the pattern right below the stitch abbreviations I describe how to figure out the stitch count if you want to adjust the size--that will be helpful once you know a rough gauge of how your yarn will work.)

Happy crocheting!

Love this pattern!
Do you have a suggestion for the beginning chain if I'm using a worsted weight yarn? I'd like it to be a large afghan, not a baby blanket.
Thanks!

In reply to Charlene Ahrens.

Thank you so much, Charlene. Being able to make things alongside my family is really one of my deepest joys. I really hope that my daughters have the same affinity for making things so we can have that shared connection someday too. (My 4-year-old just learned to sew and it absolutely warmed my heart!)

Happy crocheting!
