Scrappy Round Ripple

Here is my very first round ripple baby blanket.  I have to say, I think round baby blankets are kind of dumb - but I did enjoy making it!  Super easy.  I followed the pattern from Crochet Dad - 9 pointed star round ripple. I found the pattern very easy, and after the first few rows, it was a great tv watching project.  I am using up scrap yarn - Stylecraft DK in miscellaneous colors. I just closed my eyes and reached into the box for the next color. I love the stitch definition with an H hook.  Very soft. My border is a reverse single crochet.  I think it looks nice - but it did curve my star points more than I wanted. This blanket will go to Project Linus.
