Chunky Baby Blanket Pattern

Did you get your hands on some of the sale yarn at Hobby Lobby a couple weeks ago? I did! 😁 It was a happy day... my boys are even getting used to being toted along to the craft store. They are even happy...even if this picture doesn't see the true joy in their hearts. 😅

I really love how this blanket worked up so fast. I used 2 balls Baby Bee in Angel Fleece Hopscotch and 3 balls of I Love This Yarn Blend in Calming Blue. I didn't end up using all of the skeins...so I knit up a quick baby stocking hat. I made a second blanket for the tutorial in a coordinating color of Teal.
