I've looked at blankets made this way and I always wanted to try it.. I have to tell you, I loved making this blanket! It was easy and it went by pretty quick. I used 2 strands of yarn together (Bernat baby sport white and blue) and a K hook. I made it smaller than the pattern, but it still came out big because I used 2 strands at a time. It's crib size now in stead of being the usual smaller size baby blankets. Here's a few pics..
