Afghan 83

Special blankets are for special people! Bestie requested green and/or sunflowers for her baby, and a Google search delivered both in this pattern from The Caffeinated Snail. This is my first blanket with a wave border, worked backwards and then forwards, as well as my first blanket with applique. Overall, though, the pattern was extremely accessible. The creator even gave options for a simpler border, and making the applique without a magic ring (the latter option which I took).

(For once, a blanket actually turned out the size that it was supposed to. I did have to add a few rows past what the creator suggested to get the white the right size, though. Maybe I just actually followed the pattern this time...)
