Log Cabin Baby Blanket

Here are the pictures of the baby blanket I finished for little Francis. A simple log cabin pattern inspired by the Log Cabin Afghan in Mason Dixon Knitting. #9 ndls start with only 10 stitches and 20 rows or 10 ridges. The following blocks evolved with 10 ridiges per block. A 4th color had to be added to keep my three colors separated. The tan was also used for the Icord edge to finish off the blanket. Yarn was Bernat Cottontots, 100% cotton. After washing the blanket and drying in the dryer the blanket looked worn and was pilled. A disappointment, this was a popular yarn in our shop due to it being 100% cotton and reasonable price. However I felt it did not hold up well to washing and drying. The tan yarn was an organic cotton from another company and it also pilled. Knitting the log cabin pattern was fun. I will do another one this way. The way the blocks built up in small sections kept my attention and it was just the right amount of time for one sitting. Total mindless patten a perfect blanket to knit while watching TV.
