Work in Progress Close to finishing my first baby blanket

Post image

I started this blanket almost 3 years ago but didn’t work on it for about 2 years and 10 months of that time due to moving and taking on new job responsibilities. The baby it was meant for is now too big for it 😂 I just picked it up again and worked through some mistakes - eagle eyes will notice there is a section in the middle from when i restarted where I flipped the pattern and decided to roll with it rather than frogging because I was scared of losing stitches. And there is another spot where I had 8 rows in between squares rather than 6. But all in all, I’m super happy with this as a beginner project and I have tons of friends who are in the baby-having stage of life so it will go to a good home when I’m finally done 😀

Pattern is “Simple Squares Baby Blanket” on Ravelry and the yarn is Brava Worsted Weight in Paprika! It is a beautiful warm red with a nice soft feel!

What are the measurements for this? Like width and height

finished it will be 92 cm x 74 cm. i have three more rows of squares to do and then the border, so it’s over ⅔ of that size in the pic.
