Here's the breakdown on this granny:
Four colors of Peaches and Cream cotton yarn: sunshine, white, teal, and orange. Not sure on the exact names of the last two as I threw the paper sleeves away! Size G hook.
There are 25 rounds of sunshine and the border consists of 7 rounds, 6 really, both beginning and ending in white. I think I would have preferred two rounds of each of these border colors, but I didn't have enough of the orange and teal yarn. Story of my life! Here's a close up.
The 7th round is a sweet little finish that I can't take credit for. I found it on Pinterest a couple of years ago when looking for a final round to crochet onto some bunting. It's very simple, but the corners give it some "umph" I think. The pattern can be found HERE. I don't know how, being new to blogging, to give this author a proper shout out. The best I can do now is direct you to her blog and pattern and take absolutely no credit for the design! If you can help me out, please comment!!
Well, this is what I did on this first day of summer; I finished a blanket. Enjoy this summer day, and Happy Father's Day to you dads out there!
