This blanket is called Come Sail Away and was made with Hobby Lobby’s “I Love This Yarn”. The blue yarn was super soft. Not all HB yarn is soft for some reason, but this one was. I love it that you can throw it in the washer and dryer and it looks great. It’s also perfect for babies because the blanket itself is loosely knit and very breathable. I used a size 8 needle but because I am such a loose knitter, many would use a size 10.
