Sunshine blanket of DOOM – finished!

It’s done *happy dance* and it’s awesome!

Pinwheel Centre

I decided to increase the basic Pinwheel pattern to 50 stitches between YOs. That’s a massive 500 stitches total. The blanket I pulled of the needles was a good size, and I hope it would grow a little after blocking.

Pre-blocking

Post blocking

It nearly doubled in size. That’s a 30cm or 12 inch ruler that almost reached all the way to the centre before blocking and comes nowhere near afterwards. It is huge.

Pinwheel

I love it though. So bright and happy for my little boy. And the pattern is so ridiculously easy that I’ll be able to whip up one for the pram/car seat quickly.
