I bought these colors in mind for my best friend's little boys. She has twin boys that are three weeks older than Ivy. I started the blanket and tried doing each individual square one at a time and join as I went.
Well, I got bored with it really quick. I finally got my mojo back with it and decided that I was going to finish all the circles before I started joining them again.
Once all the circles were done, I turned them into squares. This was the first blanket that I have ever completed using a 4mm hook. I'm usually all about the bigger hooks because I can get the projects done faster. But this yarn called for a smaller hook, so therefore a smaller hook it is.
Once all the squares were done, I tried the continuous join-as-you-go method and I absolutely loved it. I will definitely be using that method again!
Here's the finished project:
I have another blanket with the same yarn in the works since there are two boys, I need two blankets. It won't be the same blanket, but roughly the same size.
Pattern is the Sunburst Granny Square by Priscilla Hewitt; you can find it free on Ravelry. Yarn used was Baby Bee Sweet Delight in celery, toy elephant, tangerine, and cobalt. It's worked with a 4mm hook and the border is a camel stitch.
Stay tuned for the pair!

Courtney
