The Squish Baby Blanket is a vibrant retake on a classic design, now featuring the irresistibly cozy Bernat Blanket Frosting yarn. You’ll only need two balls of regular-size Bernat Blanket yarn to whip up this delightful creation. My revamped pattern ensures you squeeze every last bit of yarn from those balls, giving you maximum snuggle for your buck.
The colours Cozy Rosie and Sunday Times pop in a way that will brighten any nursery. We've tweaked the colour rows just a bit compared to the original, adding a pinch of freshness to the mix. If you're a fan of the classics, no worries—you can still grab the original pattern in its timeless white and brown hues right below. Get ready to create a cuddly masterpiece that's as fun to make as it is to use!

I'm using the Sl1pwy for the first stitch of every row.
You can change yarn midway through a row in case there is a knot or you run out of yarn. You just use the same technique before.
