My First Knitted Blanket

I have to admit this was started before I even learned how to crochet but not finished until after two crochet blankets!! I found knitting harder and I really am going to work on my knitting skills this year. This pattern was found in the back of the little learn to knit book I grabbed at Walmart. It came with needles and everything. 

I spent a lot of time working on it on the side porch...

And on the front porch...

It was made of six large squares which I did as two solid pieces and sewed together in the center.

To give it a more finished look I did a crochet border around the whole thing. I really love the density of knitted fabric and the fact it uses less yarn. I am so determined to get better at it!
