Westport Blanket

Ravelry is the source of many wonderful things.  When I am having a rough day, I look through the patterns.  One day, the Westport Blanket  popped up.  As I was looking for a pattern for a baby blanket for little Rory, I downloaded the pattern and began knitting.

 I had another lovely shade of Burrow Bulky available.   The gauge on a 10.5 needle worked out for the way that I knit.   The fabric is a little firm but will relax, a bit I think, when it is washed.

This pattern is simple but a row counter is still your best friend to make the process easier.   I am now further along than this picture would suggest and am still entertained by the pattern.

This is my "carry" project.  At home I am working on some stuffed animals and getting ready to do a series of hats for the Jacobs girls.  

The Westport blanket adapts easily to size changes and would be a good choice for many different yarns.  Do your swatch...do your math....cast on....and end up with a lovely blanket.
