Hello fellow knitters,

I decided to use up lots of my left over yarn and as I often knit for charity, thought a child's blanket would be a good project.

The squares are 1 1/2" and I wanted it to be bright and cheerful.

Since starting this project, I've been wondering whether the blanket idea is a good one, should I make some chair backs, or cushion covers with it.

I've knitted 5 rows of 21 squares each so far. For a blanket I would knit it square, 21 x 21 squares.

Sorry, the photo is not that good, too much light, but you get the idea.

Any ideas please?

I think it looks beautiful would be awesome as a blanket.. or whatever you choose.

It is so pretty. I would think a blanket would be just the right thing! And, what a pretty way to use up yarn ends.

I recently took a class on this...I did mine with worsted wool...left over bits...and made a doggy blanket...for practice.
A lot of the ladies are using sock yarn...yikes! LOL
Yours is very nice!

beautiful! I love anything colorful!

Thank you - I appreciate all your comments.

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of continuing with it as a child's blanket - it is quite thick and I imagine would keep a little one cosy.

Hundreds of ends to sew in, but rather that than having to sew the squares together afterwards!

I had the same thought as some of the others who replied. I'd just keep working at it until you have a blanket size. Beautiful work. I'm impressed.

In sock yarn it would take forever, but would also look fantastic!
Happy knitting and thank you.

Love what you're doing with the yarn, the colours are wonderful! I think a blanket would be great.

Thank you.
Only another 16 rows to go - I think my original idea was better
Decision made - I'll keep going.

Stick with the blanket idea - it is so cheerful. Looks like something to wrap yourself in and feel cherished.
