Lily Sugar&Cream Baby Blanket

<p>This blanket uses Lily Sugar &amp; Cream crochet yarn, woven from 12 donated skeins in a variety of colors. Each 2.5 oz skein holds 120 yards. It was quite challenging to come up with a pleasing pattern with the colors I was given. Two of my guildmates supplemented from their stash to help make sure I didn't run out. I tried to minimize the bright red. It didn't seem to fit with the other muted colors, but works nicely in a "limited" engagement. The final crib blanket should be 36" x 52", sett at 8 epi in plain weave, with a 15% take-up and shrinkage allowance. It will be donated with a handmade toy to a local organization that serves needy families.</p>
