It's her GO TO PROJECT that is easy to do in a few evenings after a long day stressing at the job.

I haven’t crocheted in 30+ years, but I would like to make this in a larger and rectangular for my granddaughter. Can this be made in rows instead to get a larger size and if so, do you have any guidance?
Thank you so much!

Have you ever tried this starting with a solid color in the center and then switching to the multicolor? Niece is expecting twins, boy and girl, so I was thinking about seeing if there was a multicolor that would match up with both blue and pink solids so they'd each have similar but distinctive blankies.
