Started over on the baby blanket with a different pattern and different colors. It’ll be rainbow striped when it’s done.
The yarn is cotton, which I like for color and texture and lack of microplastics, but it’s a bit impractical to give new parents something that requires special washing, so I’m trying using a bigger hook, making it oversized, and preshrinking it in the wash myself. It worked great on the swatch, we’ll see at full blanket size….

This pattern is a little awkward in that there are 2 rows of a color and 1 of white, which either leaves a lot of ends to sew in, or if I carry it along the side and hide with a border the color is always on the wrong side to pick it back up. So I am using 2 balls of the color and 1 of white and trying not to get too tangled.
My genius idea on the swatch was “hey, yarn balls have 2 ends, why not work off of both?” This did not work out as well as I hoped, so much tangling
