Question
redrosesdz
I'm making an afghan for my 5 yo granddaughter for Easter. I started with a baby afghan pattern and am just increasing it. I want something bigger than crib size, but smaller than a throw, so that she can easily use it and carry it.
The pattern I chose is 7" squares with a 3" border. The pattern is 4 x 4 squares, which makes a 34" square. My original idea was to make it 5 x 6 squares, but I'd have to buy more yarn. So, here are my choices....
4 X 6, which is 34" x 48" (the size of a child's sleeping bag)
or
5 x 5, which is 41" square.
My delimma is that the 4 x 6 would be nice for napping or drapping at the end of her bed or the 5 x 5 square would be nice for throwing on the floor to sit on for playing. I don't know which way she'd get the most use out of the afghan. I'd like her to be able to use it for at least 4-5 years.
Thanks for your help!
