Repeat Pattern round until you have nine rounds. Fasten off. Switch to Bernat Baby Lash Yarn for two rounds. Fasten off. Switch to Baby Coordinates for six roundss, Baby Lash two rounds, Baby Coordinates for six rounds and finish with two rounds of Baby Lash.


Although it didn't make me crazy that I needed to a whole new skein of Baby Coordinates to finish approximately one row of the round, I did find it slightly frustrating that I needed a fifth skein of Baby Lash to make 7 dc sets.

I plan on making this a "grow with me" blanket and eventually finish it off at twin size so the extra yarn will come in handy. I think I'll need about 10 more skeins of the Baby Lash to get it to that size.
