Sugar Wheel Baby Blanket CAL Week 1

If you are ready to start a fun, quick Crochet Along… Join me in making this Sugar Wheel Baby Blanket!!  In week 1 we will be making the first 9 rows of the blanket… Super quick, Super easy!!!  The original Sugar Wheel Baby Blanket was made using Premier Yarns Sweet Roll in Cream Pop… This time I am using Yarnspirations Bernat Pop in Paisley Pop…

I love using Self Striping Yarn, it makes beautiful projects with easy color work done all by the yarn!!

I will also be making my blanket a bit larger than the original.  During week 3 of the CAL I will talk about how to make this fun blanket bigger and for those of you who want to make a larger blanket,,, I will do a Week 4 of this CAL!  But you can stop at week 3 to make it baby size!!
