Babies, babies, babies! Such is the theme of 2012 🙂 Today's post is about the blanket I completed last month for baby Arjun. I have been saving Kirsten Kapur's Abby Blanket in my knitting queue for some time, and was very, very excited for the opportunity to try it out. The pattern turned out perfectly – the yarn showcases the pattern very well. I was initially worried that the yarn may be too thick for this pattern, but that worry thankfully dissipated a few inches into the blanket. The yarn – Cascade 220 – was also a great, bouncy yarn to work with for this project. I also really like the color combo, and appreciate the help of the friendly owners of my new local yarn shop, Argyle Yarn Shop, for helping me with the lengthy decision-making process 🙂
Arjun's Baby Blanket
Pattern: Abby's Blanket by Kirsten Kapur. I completed five repeats instead of the six called for in the pattern because I wanted a slightly smaller blanket.

Needles: One US8 circular needle, and 5 US8 DPNs
