Baby blanket

I always resist from doing granny square and swatches. Waste of time. At least that what I used to beleive for a long time till the day I had the urge of making a small pouch for my cell phone and I knitted mini squares of 4x4 stitches and I discovered that not only it was therapeutic but I loved the fact of sewing them together. Right then and there I started a granny blanket for to giveaway as charity work. I am a convert to grannies and that is why I started the Octagons and squares bedspread. Blanket is made out of Bernat Soft and a cotton yarn for the border. I totally love the swirls of the border. Size 17x17 inches
