New Blanket for Jonathan

I found a lovely pattern on Ravelry called Circle-in-a-Square.  There are many other patterns out there that are pretty much the same, but liked the final look of this one so chose it to do an afghan for my nephew.  I had started one last year doing Tunisian, but I just didn't like the look of it about 1/2 way through.  That was the SECOND afghan I started for him.  The first one was a charted pattern and it was too hard for my hands for some reason.

This one is just a simple two color afghan, grey and cream, which I think will look pretty classy. The yarn is With Love by Red Heart.  Was surprised how much I really like it!


I have almost all the circles made, so am now adding the three rows on the outside.  Hopefully it will look as good as I think it should!

I have been doing circles in other colors to see combinations and may just finish up several afghans for Christmas as this is a VERY fast pattern…rather satisfying and also (for me) not boring.  Oh, did I mention EASY???

Try it -  you'll like it!
